[@derekrohan9619]

Day before my 11th birthday.. 1991. man I love these . I have some custom HO scale LIRR. The blue and white and the yellow and blue GP-38s. And I have 5 of the coaches. My grandfather had them custom done for me as a kid . I still have em.

Great to see the old GP38-2s and the Pullman P-72s

[@LongIslandCityLayout]

Woohoo, revisiting the very first comment I made on UA-cam, almost 8 years ago.

[@derekrohan9619]

Love these reminds me of being a kid on the island.. I would have been 11 during this vid... never realized islip didn’t have a platform..

Love the first horn on the 1500.

[@andrewfowler2182]

Too bad these beasts are gone except the four GPs left under NYA

[@TrainMan2004]

Much as I am a Nathan K5LA fan, that 620, goodness that horn RULES!!!!! "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!"

Back in the days of "if you're disabled or use a wheelchair tough luck"

[@sonicboy678]

I never did get to see this station before the high platforms...

[@thogy]

I know it was 19 years ago, but tripods did exist then

[@TheChachLINY]

tripods are forbidden on the LIRR as they can block traffic and can look like a weapon. Ik its been 9 years but just wanted to tell you

[@AvenueD417]

these guys abused the shit out of the horns back then. totally tame these days
