LIRR M3 RFW from Penn Station to Ronkonkoma on train

I was lucky enough to get a set of Budd M3’s on train #1056 on this day. Actually, this train gets the M3’s quite often but it’s the luck of the draw. We have a good ride through beautiful sunny weather and Autumn foliage. This train makes quite a few stops along the way, but gets over the road pretty fast between stations. Narrated, and all stations and interlockings are identified along with some passing trains and signal indications. (Regrettably I didn’t have the cleanest window but I worked it out the best I could)

I’ve been busy to say the least. You could call what I do an extracurricular activity and I’m very dedicated to it. I don’t believe you should get involved with an extracurricular activity if you’re always looking at your watch to see what time it is during the activity, but when I do this I look at my watch to make sure that I don’t miss a train.

If you like traction motor sound, you will love my recent Montreal Metro video

Funny, the horn on the M3 sounds very similar to the Silverliner IV's!!

@3985uprr 3 ай бұрын

To me they don’t sound the same. They are stronger sounding

I literally thought they were having some kind of 24 car equipment move at 22:38!

The elimination of all grade crossings between Floral Park and Hicksville is a great safety improvement. They need to do the same in the vicinity of Farmingdale station, and anywhere else on the system where they can eliminate superfluous crossings.

Farmingdale has a lot

unfortunately I missed this train at Mineola so I had to take a different train, which ended up getting stuck for 2 hours at Deer Park

I was at Woodside recording that I saw the train go by but was texting so I only got a last second shot. This was at 4:58 PM when it passes on Track 4.

Have the platforms at Forest Hills and Kew Gardens been lengthened? They certainly look longer than they used to be.

Thanks for the video, I moved from Carle Place back to Philly in 2018, so glad to see everything completed. Didn't know about the new Islanders station. Is that like Belmont Race Track station and only used for games?

Thank you for another, fantastic video! I noticed the noise at the train went faster (sounds like the old subway cars). I also noticed recently a similar sound on the newer cars. My office is opposite LIRR tracks. Did the LIRR add a noise to the trains so that they could be heard by workers more easily (or something like that)?

Thanks for the ride! What's with the red side-arm signal at Hicksville?

@3985uprr 8 ай бұрын

If it’s blinking, then train orders are to be picked up but since the tower is closed, you shouldn’t be seeing that flashing anymore unless due to an emergency
