Plenty of LIRR/Amtrak/NJT movements. You can’t beat variety at the LIRR Hunterspoint Avenue station.

Like the Engineer on #407 good work with the horn, easy does it, Homeowners love it, my Dad was in Engine Service on the LIRR, took pride with safety and saving hearing on people.

I guess I’m just a guy who believes in using horns to full potential for safety sake. It does seem obvious there’s a horn attitude in that neighborhood.

Somehow I’m just seeing this video. I’ve always found that bit of track between Harold and LIC to be very fascinating. My favorite part of my trips there is watching the trains enter the station

Excellent job. One of my favorite spots. I remember this from my commute to school on the #7 train. I still enjoy just standing around and watching the great variety of equipment at this location. Well done. :)

Ayyyyeeeeee I love railfanning here cuz it’s my neighborhood! It’s a hidden gem. Hunters point ave station has everything from the subway, Amtrak, lirr , njt, and even some local freight. The infrastructure is amazing to look at plus you got sunny side yard under the queens borough bridge.

My late husband and I would make "whoopie" in the last car on the 10:31 from Penn to Massapequa. One day the conductor caught us in M1 car 9003 with our pants down and told us to clean up our act. We asked if he had any napkins so we could clean up. He said no, so we just continued until we got to Seaford and started to button and zip up from there. Talk about the train coming into the tunnel! Oh, and we loved the M1s ! ! !

I am so happy that NJ Transit STILL Operates those, "Jersey Arrow" MUs...at LEAST THE SOUTH SHORE LINE HERE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA (where I reside) aren't alone in running not quite, but nearly identical equipment! After all, those cars are where the design IDEA came from! :)

I loved this video. My first trip on the LIRR was in 1964, from Penn Station to the New York Worlds Fair. Rode MP-54 MU cars (like the Pennsy Red Cars). Can you do a video on the LIRR from the past (1950's and 1960's). They use to run heavyweight Parlor cars and steam coaches to eastern points on Long Island from Penn Station with electric locomotives to Jamaica, then switch to either steam or diesel locomotives. I would love to see video of that operation.

Those Amtraks took some nice hops coming over the track there, looks like they could use some help but I'm sure there isn't anyway to take the line out of service for work without major disruptions

I ride the 7 daily. That view at Hunterspoint is always fun. You never know what will be passing thru. But it’s just a short glimpse as the 7 dives into the tunnel or climbs East towards Queensborough Plaza. This is a much better, longer up close view. That blue & silver building in the background is the Arch St facility of LIRR. Many M9s are parked there. For a long while some ancient looking M3s or M1s?? were parked there but are long gone. Thanks for the view & from a different angle than I’m used to.

They seem to blow horns correctly at L.I.C.. I was just thinking, if it's available, you probably have a ticket for the first train in Grand Central Terminal already. Will it come from Jamaica into the city or what? Maybe the city to Montauk. Some time could you trace ( slowly ) on a map how the Amtrak trains get into Queens and over to Penn Station? Also show use on a map the entire LIRR ? I grew up in Queens on Metropolitan Ave. and Wood Haven Blvd. We had two lines running there. One parallel to wood Haven Blvd. and I assume was the line that went to Rockaway. The other ran perpendicular to Wood Haven ( actually under it) to Jamaica and was freight all the time I lived there but went toward Brooklyn the other way. I'd like to see where that went.
