READ: M3s up the West Hempstead Branch is fairly infrequent, so I was lucky to catch one on the first PM rush hour train up that way (train 956). Enjoy the ride =)

No way!! The hardest branch and very rare to snatch one! Excellent video! Guess I'm not the only one that has a video of this branch now.

At 7:24 could you imagine if one of those oncoming trains was on the wrong track? Just enough time to see it, but not much to react.

Nice. However, the video kept jumping about..speeding up and kinda screwing with the resolution.

Good video. Getting out of Jamaica still seems to be a slow process. Probably the same pace as the historic MP54's, Wonder why speeds can't be increased given today's technology?

Why, it's an electric line Though if it's disabled, the 4 cars would be used, but where exactly will the engineer park the DE/DM locomotive?
@ROTE4 жыл бұрын
What’s the point? This is electrified so only M3s,M7s,and M9s would come here. Unless something happens to the third rail no diesels will ever go here

@@AaronJrBrundidge true, I mean wherever they keep the EMUs parked there, that’s where they’ll keep them but at the same time, emus are only used.

I live in New York City but I have never been on the LIRR because I always drove. Why was the conductor telling the passengers to go to the rear 4 cars in the beginning of the video?

The platform was too short so only the last 4 cars were loading/unloading would be my guess...

Rush hour trains are bigger and usually originate in NY or Brooklyn. Off peak service is a 4 car shuttle from Valley Stream (seen to the right at 11:00 in the yard at Valley Stream when not scheduled)
@FanRailer5 жыл бұрын
6 cars, 4 open. LIRR does not run anything shorter than 6 since a 4-car train can gap out in interlockings.

The bell is a warning that the cab signals (which govern condition of track ahead) has changed to a more restrictive speed (diverting move or following a train)
@davidthaler70185 жыл бұрын
Kendall Brown If the train is at a station, the ringing bell could also be a warning that the doors are closing.
