Always a great show, this one is really good... love the intro, the narration, and the picture and sound quality! It's still a great marvel for me to see how the LIRR has greatly expanded over the years! Thanks for the effort. You're PUTTING ON A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR VIEWERS....

So glad to see the Mineola station coming along great!!! Carle place looks great too!!!

Nice video's from the Roosevelt L.I Kidd😊

Damp and dreary is appropriate for Pearl Harbor Day and the tragic event that day in 1941. I was a 4 month old and my Dad was in Chicago on business. Thanks Tim for a nice view of the new third track😀💚

Where you were set up on the Mineola platform used to be the truck yard for my family's business from the 60s into the 90s. As a kid I loved sitting on the loading dock watching the trains go by, but once I was old enough to drive, the traffic was brutal. Nice to see the progress the LIRR has made.

Tim, thanks for going out in the elements so much lately! Seems like we need to get you a "RRHG" poncho or raincoat!!! As a LIC/Queens Resident here, thanks again for letting me "visit places" without having to leave home! -SR

Nice video. This video also proves that the LIRR only cares about the South Shore more than the mainline when it comes to M9s LOL.

i’m usually here on Wednesdays and I would’ve seen you! too bad I wasn’t this week

I have seen the crap metal train on the metro north New Heaven line. Thanks sir

I enjoyed, as usual, your great camera work and narration.

655 actually doesn't go to Long Island City he's the only one that doesn't go there. He actually goes to Hunterspoint Avenue.

Why not save the fuel if a 3rd rail is available for those maintenance units? Since the diesel is burned to drive generators to power the drive motors, it seems superficially to be a waste. Can they units be adapted for direct use of the power rail? I wonder why they didn’t just add a switch off track 1 for eastbound Oyster Bay. Then they just switch those trains to track 1 west of Mineola so it only has to cross track 3….? Thanks for all the video work and info. I’m hooked.

Good job from David steiner I love it 😀 👏

Nice. I’d like to get out and see the entire reconfiguration of that whole line soon

Bummer none of the older M3 train sets were running that day

Nice would like to see more on freight movement on LI

Will the Montauk branch ever have a double track between Sayville and Montauk? And who's spaghetti and meatballs and the flying Yankee??? Cool names.

The laser train uses 2 retired M3's right or is 1 of them an M1?

The sound heard on the M7 is actually the DC to AC power inverters using Insulated gate bipolar transistors better known as IGBT. The traction motors are AC but third rail is DC. This sound can be heard on most modern MU cars including newer subway cars. The inverter and AC motors reach efficiency levels greater than DC motors can provide with better speed control and lower maintenance and better life. Too bad the power inverters are so noisy.

i doubt GCT is opening this year lirr has been dead silent now

I'm surprised no M7s went on the Oyster Bay Line.

Just A Heads Up 656 is from Long Island City To Port Jeff

How many carts are on this train 🚆🤔

Im theory how many cars can be on a diesel trains?

I would personally rank the M7s lowest of the NYC's area MUs.
