LIRR 6424: Bayside to Great Neck on M7 7796 + Awesome Horn Action at Little Neck

Train: LIRR 6424 (10:48 AM from NYP)
NY Penn Station to Port Washington
Stations seen in this part:
Bayside (stop)
Douglaston (stop)
Little Neck (stop)
Great Neck (stop)
The main highlight of this ride starts at 3:56, which is where the only grade crossing on the Port Washington Branch is located. Unfortunately, as of November 12th, 2010, it is now a quiet zone (meaning engineers only need to sound their horn in emergencies). Anyway, enjoy the ride!

Nice! The LIRR Looks Superb With Scenery Lingering Around The Branches The LIRR Includes! I Got Startled By That Leslie RS2M Horn At 3:56 Since I Clearly Did Not Read Through The Description Of This Video! Very Nice!

The recording of each stop announcement(voice overs) was done by a local man from Flushing. You may recall his voice as being familiar to you as for a few years he was the voice of the Golf Channel. He has been in broadcasting for over 40 years and currently is the morning man on an upstate NY AM-FM station. Incidentally, he was a graduate of Holy Cross HS in the early 60s.

At 1.05 for any Bayside residents, there is a coal slide that still may be there. in the 1950s the local kids would slide down the rail sliding...probably 50 to 75 feet. it was steel and provided a smoothe ride until the LIRR would send the local police to stop us from playing there. The overpass on 221 Street( just pass this siding on the south side of the street) still has the original stanchions of the 1890s original railroad. Between the street and sidewalk on the grass the steel stanchions were cut off at ground level and placed every 50 feet. They should still be there.

thought that Little Neck crossing was a "Silent Crossing?"

[@Train538]

Little Neck is a quiet zone now, but this video was recorded before the rule was put in place. Please read the description for further details.
