Jamaica March Madness. Everything you could possibly see. Nasty winds/great entertainment. 3/31/22

[@scottyerkes1867]

I've been part of the Jamaica madness several times...changing trains or just psssing through. A rush hour change at Jamsica was most scary....very crowded platforms. Thanks for posting this.😀😀💙💙

[@thesushiguy6998]

Great video! The diesel trains on the LIRR are my favorite. A relaxing smooth ride.

[@Justin_DeLeon]

I go to Jamaica station every day to get to work and back, love seeing my station and others on your channel thanks for the vids 👌

[@steve-o981]

Always fun to see an old switching tower.

[@georgemurphy2579]

But it would be more fun to see a string of "owl-eyes." And, lest we forget "ping- pong" coaches! Dashing Dan in gray and orange...

[@Nurvington]

Amazing sights, sounds and action of LIRR’s JAMAICA. Enjoyed this video!

[@MattyC62185]

What a train journey I just had the last couple weeks. Crack of dawn NE regional from Boston South Station to DC Union and then Silver star from there to Orlando what a long ass one that was, we can a half later Silver star from Orlando to Rocky Mount North Carolina, week later from Rocky Mount North Carolina to New York penn then LIRR to Jamaica, and then LIRR from Jamaica to New York Penn, then Acela from there to Boston south then MBTA Red to orange to blue to Wonderland each of the three places was to visit family

[@rochesterjohnny7555]

I would always enjoy an hour or two at Jamaica station travelling around Long Island as a teenager

[@davidlin89]

Yeah the area used to be a lot of fun. Movies flea markets restaurants. Now I'm afraid to even go down for jollibees, Filipino chain store that just opened nearby

[@robertcantore330]

Love Jamaica Station lots of trains and also love switching onto the JFK Airtrain to go to JFK to go planespotting!!!!

[@docmurph8681]

Reminds me of my commuting days back in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Jamaica heading onto trains going to Montauk is the most hectic. Everyone is pushing each other and it can be really hectic. Since the train everyone goes for is the 11:21 Shuttle from Penn to Jamaica. Everyone going to Montauk and other points east via LIRR is on that train.

[@jamesburnside3023]

Great work indeed

[@_extra9126]

Nice shots, I was on 759 and 658.

[@Larry_P]

Awesome!

[@loocpoc]

Be glad you didn't come down to Philly. When you would of passed the Levittown-Tullytown station, you would of seen all the police cars lined up for the funeral and procession for our fallen troopers. Might of even seen them when the NEC parallels 95 from Cottman to just before Bridge st. Also later in the day, around 7pm it got real nasty weather wise. Some trees fell down in my neighborhood.

[@3985uprr]

I wasn’t crazy about the forecast

[@gregoryesteve613]

Do the Port Jeff trains run e-mode to Huntington and then switch to Diesel?

[@3985uprr]

Diesel all the way

[@steve-o981]

Question for Retired Railfan and others...If you were limited to subscribing to one railfan magazine, and did not care about railroad modeling, what would be the best single magazine to get? (I have a 1940s vintage American Flyer train set, but am now more interested in real rolling stock, power...vintage and new...and railroading history and stories than anything else.) Thanks in advance for the feedback.

[@3985uprr]

I like Trains Magazine, Railpace, Railfan and Railroad, and Passenger Train Journal. All are good mags relating to real trains

[@steve-o981]

@@3985uprr Thank you!

[@lonsworth]

Like the wind across the mike picking up the realism of the day!!

[@3985uprr]

It’s annoying and I try to do something about it but it was too much

[@musicforaarre]

Why do all the Port Jeffersons vere off to the left; are they British and do left hand operation ?? LOL Aarre Peltomaa

[@3985uprr]

During the p.m. rush-hour they use three tracks on the mainline east and some of those trains use track one

[@goofyahhnerdyy]

i prefer this intro for your videos

[@JoelMattin]

14:11 anyone notice a guy running?

[@Georgieacks9090]

He was probably a worker. If not he’s trespassing

[@JoelMattin]

@Georgieacks9090 That could be True

[@mitchellschwab2695]

Good Evening Tim!! I hope all is very well with you. I understand you are going to have surgery at the end of April. I hope it goes okay for you. One quick question for you. I know there is a LIRR train museum in Oyster Bay. Do you know if New York And Atlantic will be going to do anything like maybe deliver some freight cars there this summer? I know that they go on the Port Jefferson Branch to a Lumber Yard, on the Main Line out east to Riverhead, and on the Central Branch east of Bethpage as well. Please message me back and have a wonderful Easter and Passover Weekend!! Thanks my good friend!!

[@3985uprr]

I am not aware of such a move

[@yasnac7576]

I always wondered about this... How do those third rails work? Are they programmed to 'reach out' when the gaps occur? Maybe do a video on how the 3rd rail is used. Thanks for the coverage and good luck with your surgery ❤

[@3985uprr]

Temporary loss of power but it’s usually not very long

[@robloxboy5712]

The m3s has been revived

[@Hogdriver88]

Love the sound of the diesels, the bell, and the K5LLA. Jamaica was always a fun place. How do you know all the train #s (not the car #s) - are you retired from the LIRR? Good stuff.

[@3985uprr]

Use apps. A lot of back-and-forth searching plus I just know a lot of the numbers from experience

[@williamralph5442]

I could spend all day there. What is the longest tun on the LIRR? Thanks RRF.

[@rochesterjohnny7555]

all the way to Montauk

[@ariesarethebest271]

8:30 M7 echo.

[@3985uprr]

You always look out for the echoes

[@ariesarethebest271]

@@3985uprr I just catch em as I watch. Heard you talking about the LIRR hiring event, then next thing the sweet sound of an M7 echoing. 😊

[@kennykaplan696]

You do a real good job with your reporting and video, but have you ever thought about shooting a standup open or standup close? I really believe that a standup would add to your videos.
