It’s a beautiful summer day to get back to being trackside in the USA after a wonderful trip to Ireland. The LIRR Ronkonkoma Line (which is part of the Main Line) is a superbly engineered, high speed railroad. We catch many MU’s flying by crossings and some gorgeous parkland. We see M7’s/M9’s/and quite a few Budd M3’s. We also catch a couple of diesel trains. It was a gorgeous summer day to be out and about along this super railroad section of the LIRR.

Just to mention, I worked in Melville near the Pine Lawn station for 12 years back when it was single tracking.

i love your videos. reminds of my time in the NYC 12 years ago. the last time I was there, I rode the Ronkonkoma line via Penn Station, to Deer Park or Wyandanch to my cousin's place in Dix Hiils. I also missed the double decker diesels to Locust Valley. Speaking of A380 for Korean Air, I was on the first KAL A380 from Incheon to JFK.

13:27 - my great grandparents are buried out here. I’d like to think they enjoy the trains passing them by.

I think the Irish rail class cars sound more like the DC Metro 7K series.

Tim, most of these seem to be 10 car trains….with GCT and Penn, are they running greater freq. with shorter trains?

@3985uprr 11 ай бұрын

Pretty much. They don’t run as many 12,car trains.

Where does the line from PW interlocking go to the Ronkonkoma and central branch split at Bethpage by Grummans plant ??
