At 17:11 the track that goes off to the right is the abandoned Flushing to floral park part of the central branch. It would travel from here stopping at Kissena, Frankinston, Creedmore and hinsdale (current Floral Park) It would then go down the current Hempstead branch all the way to Garden City, where it would continue straight to Bethpage, and then Babylon. The Flushing to Floral park section was abandoned in 1879, but the tracks weren’t took up until WWI. After the war the only parts of the tracks that remained was the section from floral park to creedmore. In the 1920s a track was built up to Creedmore psychiatric center ending normal passenger service on the branch. Up until the early 1960s the creedmore branch served doctors and patients for the psych center. In maps after 1978 the creedmore branch would not appear. The branch from garden city to bethpage was still in good use. Around the same time the creedmore branch closed, the branch from Mitchel Feild to bethpage was torn up. Passenger service lasted until the early to mid 70s. The branch is still used for freight though. From Bethpage to Babylon is the only part of the central branch that is still working in passenger service. It Connects Bethpage to Babylon so Montauk trains can travel to Jamaica and Penn Station.
I hope that one day they revitalize the elmhurst station! It would make seeing my friends in flushing/bayside so quick and easy
Fam I wish that the Elmhurst Station is rebuilt. It would revamp the community and cut travel times a lot and reduce the load on the subways
They are remodeling the station on the METRA UP West Line in Elmhurst, IL, but that would not do you much good? (Sorry, just being an idiot)
no chance there is talk of stations being cut for the budget due to covid
I would love this! I work in Bayside and live in Elmhurst. I can literally sleep in more and come home faster. Ah what a dream it would be.
The station is going to be put back. The MTA has done a study and expects 3800 passengers per day. Congresswoman Meng is behind the effort.
When I was a young kid I lived in Great Neck and every time I went into the city with my father I would always go to the first car and stare out the window the entire way. I moved out of LI around 99' when I was less than 10 years old and haven't taken this train since. Watching this video is like you somehow reached into my earliest memories and posted it directly on youtube. Every detail is correct right down to the specific branch of the LIRR. Its uncanny. How the hell did the algorithm know to show me?
25:21 The Bayside station! I used that stop when I went to visit Bayside back in 2018. Such memories. Thank you so much for sharing!
i go there to railfan!!
The video quality looks so crisp and vibrant
Ayyyy! Craftyfoxe!
Thanks! We tried really hard for good quality here.
Unlike the M3 sets that are held together with duct tape, broken dreams and vomit

I used to live in Port Washington back in the early 80's. I took the LIRR into Penn Station every day!
eastern LI railroads are so beautiful in the warm months with all that greenery. first time i rode it (a 4pm out of port jeff in summer 2021), somewhere in suffolk i saw a buck laying in greenery basking in a patch of sunlight. i thought it was a statue initially- absolutely beautiful.
I don't live in NY, but this was interesting! Good quality video, and I hope that the operators at the end didn't mind that their conversation was recorded. ;-). I don't often see third-rail trains venture this far from the city. Protective fencing is kind sketchy in some spots.

Our LIRR Douglaston station offers some wonderful views of our bay and the surrounding wetlands from the west end of the platform.
Nice video, thank you so much for the good job!
Born and raised in Brooklyn, traveled the LIRR AND SUBWAY as a super buff ... from age 7 loved the RFW never sat down ...
That is a mighty, mighty long tunnel!
I cant wait to see this!

...this is a superior footage...I sincerely like this and others like this.
Been on this branch many times visiting friends in Manhasset. Brings back memories👍👍😄😄
ima big fan of your videos DJH keep up the good videos and work

Another fascinating video. Thanks from Joe in England
i do not know what it is some thing about watching this is so peaceful
thank you so much dj
Beautiful. photography, Sharp as a tack . Great Line , the best on the LIRR!
Wow LIRR, cool video!
16:18 - 17:00 ...love it !
I used to live on long island and watch the trains go by my station that was 5 minutes from my house. I do miss the sound of when the train starts to move, luckily I have Train Sim 2020 game where I can play using a LIRR train from Penn to the Bethpage station
Rode this line hundreds of times. Now I feel like walking down to Louie's Seafood Restuarant and have one of their overpriced cocktails.
Last time I was on that line was 1965, to go to the 64-65 NY Worlds Fair! Took a train from Syosset to Woodside.
That was most enjoyable. Must be nice to live out in the Manhasset area.
Affluent area.
Nice Dude!!!
Thanks!!
Cool
Love the butterfly at Broadway.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for supporting the channel!!!
Great video, you cover the PW branch beautifully! Any idea if you might film the Main Line from KO to GY? It seems to be the only portion of the LIRR not on video. Please keep up the fine work! ------- A LIRR and PRR fan from Pittsburgh, PA., who used to ride from the City out to Peconic (NC) when I was a kid. (a long, long time ago!)
to Greenport.? that's unelectrified territory.
Up until the early eighties I lived within easy walking distance of the Broadway station. Now I live near the Wantagh station.
I haven't been on this run in many ...many years.
At about 22:40, while stopping at Broadway, a monarch butterfly flew diagonally across the screen from the bottom right!
What's the typical speed of these trains? I'm used to the CTA train speeds, so a nice change of pace. Nice footage, btw. Enjoyed the banter at the end. I find the NYC area to be deceptively beautiful and geographically diverse.
Max speed is 60mph to Great Neck, 50mph East of Great Neck.
The stretch from Woodside to Flushing is timetabled a little slower because all trains have time scheduled to make a stop at Mets Willets Point.
Yeah, but if you took any of the CTA Lines, aside from the Blue Line, since it goes to O'Hare, by the time you go to the first stop on this train, you'd pretty much run the entire length of any line, and the loop would be a full loop and then some. Secondly, there are so many stations, that getting to those speeds would be virtually impossible.
Metra, though, which is a lot close to what this is for Chicago, moves much faster.
Port Washington is a short branch on the LIRR so the average speed is a little lower. An express train on the LIRR mainline have no problem going 80mph.
23:52 Dragonfly never saw it coming
Need to do one from Penn station to riverhead
If my Dad did not get a transfer with the airlines when I was 5 to California I would be driving one of these.. But I ended up fixing airplanes which was fine. I liked them also.. But with trains you get to see the outside world not inside a hanger..
I hope they noticed the bump on the wheel!
Thank you for this video. Maybe I will join this line on my next NY visit. May I ask what was the ringing sound I heard few times?
Great video are any plans for Ronkonkoma or any return trips if i have to subscribe to get those in there
I notice no horn warning approaching the grade crossing at Little Neck and no whistle warning sign for the operator. I remember reading that officials in the area were looking to see if an exception could be made to not require the horn warning. Anyway great video as usual. Thank you. Update: My research tells me that some years back the Little Neck Pkwy crossing got the Quiet Zone designation after the install of quadrant gates at the crossing.
Geez, at 11:45 the platform is so long, you need a packed lunch to walk from one end to the other. 🐨🇦🇺
Well I remember taking the Port Washington line on the Long Island Railroad and i usually get off at Auburndale because my girlfriend picks me up from the train station.
Driven this on train sim world, good to see it in real life
Great video, would be even better if you added a time lapse version.
I think this may be the one: ua-cam.com/video/Toj-TruVvUU/v-deo.html
Question. Do all the underground parts of the LIRR have catwalks on both sides? Are those for walking or just how the tunnel is built?
Only the East River tubes have those duct banks on both sides. They are actually too high to function as emergency egress from a train. One of the many upgrades the existing tunnels require.
24:07 my home station for lirr
19:58 Nice C40LFs.

LIRR kinda almost like the PATH train.....can PATH or NYC subway cars can run on LIRR? Or is the track gauge different?
Last I heard, the 3rd rail voltage was different, though this might not be the case.
I CANNOT DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS,BUT I HAVE
SOME GOOD NEWS
Any chance maybe you can put the names of the signals next time? If you can't for security reasons I understand
20:44 Butterfly!
SLIME! IT'S A RIVER OF SLIME!
At like 4:45-5:00 how fast would you say the train is moving?
60 mph
It’s premiering1:12
I expected this to take an hour and 10 minutes.. it's shorter than I expected
Third rail for electric services, is it side contact or bottom contact? What voltage is the rail, and what voltage is the Amtrak overhead line? Do you get "gapping" ie all carriages losing contact with the third rail particularly at junctions?
LIRR trains are top contact. Yes, there’s some gapping at switches (AC and lights dip).
Like Southern Railway (UK)
LIRr is 750v DC.
sorry i missed the last part i had to go
42nd street shuttle also there was this weird person who kept asking you questions
42nd street shuttle
@@ROTE yeah i saw
Wait, did he say this was the last train of the day? It sure doesn't look like it would be - seems like the middle of the day to me
what do the bell noises mean? ive never taken the North or LIRR before.
In cab signaling
The Kleveoner so it’s like the equivalent of buzzer signals like the subways do?
@@TehBryanxx : I thought they were speed sensors
What's with all the ringing inside the cabin?
I believe it's the cab signaling.
36:25 why is there only one track?
Only 1 track is needed for the level of ridership that uses this branch
Also, the large and tall trestle that connects Great Neck with Manhasset was made who-knows-when and has only 1 track. They would have to build a new trestle and somehow widen the bed at the Manhasset station which I'm sure would mean demolishing the grand old station.
Favorite ride, get on at Bayside, sit on the left side, you will see Long Island Sound in all its glory, every season is different. It resembles the New England coast since two different glaciers brought the geology of New England across the Sound about 20,000 years ago.
タイトルBGMが煩すぎるし内容と合ってない
At 17:11, the right-most track becomes unelectrified and then runs into some bushes, and then it's gone. Was this a spur line going somewhere else? Would love to know more about that!
Anjan Nandi Before 1879, it ran to the Main Line, via the now-defunct Creedmore Branch.
