Taken the same day as my Port-Penn video. Sorry about the dirty window. Not much I can do about that as these railcars are from the 1980s

Fantastic video. Glad they brought some M-3''s back into the picture or we'd never have video like this showing all the new construction....... I love how it went through Floral Park on the westbound Hempstead line and new 3rd track.... Great, this video shows everything even all the new stations including Elmont ! 5 STARS ! I moved away 20 years ago, but did the commuting thing for 18 years, and am a huge train fan. I have my own video's of Mineola in the 1980's on here. I wouldn't recognize the entire area anymore !

This video made me go back in time to 31 years when I first visited the US. We stayed with friends in Wantagh and got the LRR to Penn Station for sightseeing in Manhattan. It's not the same line, but even though it has brought good memories. Thanks for sharing!
@frogger1952 Жыл бұрын
This is terrific. We can see the entire third track project from Floral Park to Hicksville along with all the station upgrades and grade crossing eliminations. We lucked out still having some old M3s around or you would have been reduced to video recording from a side window. Thanks.

Thank you, this brought back nice memories. My father spent his entire railroad career on the LIRR as an engineer. My father was described by his Railroad friends as having forgotten more than many would ever learn about the LIRR, my father may have even driven the train where you shot this video.

This is a great video! I don't live on LI anymore but I'm glad the project is done. There are generous noise attenuation walls as well. Maybe the cranky NIMBYs in Floral Park and New Hyde Park will go back to bed. They fail to realize that without the railroad their town wouldn't exist. Any historians out there? After the Port Washington branch peels off to the left you can see the line was 6 tracks. Some of the rails are still there and all of the bridges are built for 6 tracks. I was told that the railroad served local communities before the subway service came to life. The 6-track infrastructure seems to end about a mile before Forest Hills. If anyone knows about this please share it. Cheers

Well done. I grew up in New Hyde Park in the 1940s early 1950s and, boy, have the stations, tracks, speed, everything in different. How many M3s are left in service? Thanks for the trip. We now live in Southern Oregon, Medford, so the nearest train-watching I have to drive about 80 miles over the Cascade Mountains to Klamath Falls for a lot of freight train watching - BNSF ands UP and the Coast Starlight . Those trips are always fun. Thanks, again.

I've been riding this exact line for over half a century. It never ceases to amaze me how much CRAP there is on the sides of the tracks, especially around Jamaica. Dirty Buckets, Gatorade bottles, old water jugs, old pieces of wood, trash, trash, and more trash. Why don't the workers pick that crap up?

EXACTLY 💯% RIGHT on that because the M3S on the Long Island railroad is very reliable train service and rebuilding them and overhauling them just like the M3AS on the Metro North railroad. Enjoy the M3S on the Long Island railroad while they are back in passenger service. The M3S for the Long Island railroad and the M3AS for Metro North railroad cars will be here until 2025.
