MTA Long Island Rail Road [LIRR] Main Line Action @ The Brand New Elmont Station (12/27/21)

[@chicago-l9125]

Smooth high-speed crossover switching movements. Nice to see that, especially on commuter operations like the LIRR!

[@mtanyctfan8100]

Still after all these years the M7 still got it

[@marceljagger3347]

I've just got this on TSW2 so looking at your videos I can't believe how close it is to the real thing

[@Pensyfan19]

Great footage!

[@SFbayArea94121]

How fast are these going? Some of them absolutely flew by

[@dawanpascoe8433]

Well THIS is something, It didn't take long for Elmont station to be built, this IS a shock because it takes [more than] a lifetime to get ANYTHING built to serve the public's interest in transportation ESPECIALLY in NYC + metro, UNLESS it's condominiums which takes less than overnight to build; I know this section of line, Bellerose is just down the tracks, I recognize the houses behind the new wall for noise control; I thought the Belmont Racetrack Station was going to be 'renamed' Elmont to appease the residents when it was under reconstruction, and 'talks of' plans for a station stop at Elmont, but it's true! I figured the Hempstead Branch would stop [t]here being that it makes all stops enroute, but the ride itself is terrible after Stewart Manor: the train crawls, the scenery is nice though (the comment about the route isn't new because I used to commute through here alot in the mid late 1990s workbound, yet, I was always on the Port Jefferson Branch-I still remember when they finally [and unfortunately] elevated the tracks above Herricks Road because dumbass drivers don't like waiting for trains to cross the right of way-pedestrians too-and then they will get a chance to sue for $$$ to 'get over'.

[@kiembeni]

I wonder - ALL trains are empty!

[@michaellittlejohns7968]

Great video

[@ItalianStallian]

Station looks nice

[@alansilverman8500]

Ten minutes of watching trains pass by...

[@SusanPauline365]

Will it be just the hempstead line that serves the station it all the main line services.

[@njtrailfan4508]

Amazing

[@melbournerailwaysproductio3677]

Wow that’s pretty cool!

[@johnkiernan1152]

When can we expect the station at Rt 110 in Farmingdale to open? That would be worth doing, not this Elmont station.

[@jackslc01]

Elmont the only and new station with a new station sign similar to Metro-North NY Sign

[@mayhemmike1789]

Wait.... is this that new station right alongside the Cross Island pkwy???

[@FanRailer]

Yes
