Finally sunny weather to do some LIRR Main Line railfanning. Bethpage/Hicksville area. 9/27/23

We see a little bit of everything in this video, ranging from a superb “Spaghetti and Meatball” horn show, light engines, a NY&A freight train, and all sorts of M3/M7/M9 MU’s and DE/DM diesel passenger runs. In this 25 minute video you see just about all the types of trains you’re going to see on Long Island. Enjoy!!!

When are you going to review the super express on the Port Jervis line that runs nonstop from Secaucus-Harriman?

[@3985uprr]

Probably not until the days get long again. I like to do those completely in daylight.

[@jackchen7003]

Are you going to be at the NJT 40th anniversary event this weekend?

[@straighft]

What’s this about??

[@kennykaplan696]

Tim, growing up on Long Island, how in the world did you became an Eagles fan?

[@3985uprr]

It is what it is. I love Philadelphia so I guess the team grew on me like the Phillies did. I’ve always been a maverick when it comes to certain ideals.

[@Jaytherailfan]

Are you going to the njt meet the heritage at hoboken this sunday?

[@3985uprr]

Indeed!!!

[@Jaytherailfan]

Alright I hope to see you there (I am going)

[@keithangle336]

[@3985uprr]

Who do I remind you of?

[@keithangle336]

no one in particular. here in St Louis, grew up with guys like Jack Buck, Harry Carry, Joe Garagiola.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

​@keithangle336 - As a Phillies fan, I was spoiled by Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn, who were best friends.

[@3985uprr]

@@OldsVistaCruiser They we’re good. They worked well together. Ashburn did pizza plugs on the air and got chewed out for it.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

​@@3985uprr- And His Whiteness changed it to "birthday wishes to the Celebre's twins, Plain & Pepperoni." Harry did it, too, after Whitey passed away.

20:44 pretty sure a train crew cant denial boarding for that train crew should be lucky they werent reported for that i never heard of a train crew allowed to do that before

[@3985uprr]

Never saw that before or since but it is technically a crime to walk around downed crossing gates.

[@irtr36]

[@carlossanchez-kz4wh]
