M7 lovers delight. Also lots of diesels including light engines, NY&A freight, Laser Train, and many passenger trains. Did get an M9 at the end. Heavy duty action on this superbly engineered triple 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.

Were those the Fruit Trucks? I remember seeing them. There was a train siding which turned off of the Oyester Bay branch right before Mineola. I use to see it in the 1980s when it looked active. But not after the 80s.

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😀💚

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don’t see the double track on the near future. Those are nicknames for those engineers. One is based on Italian ethnicity and the other is based on him running fast and being a Yankees fan.

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.
