LIRR. EAST WILLISTON to JAMAICA

[@MrMaster767]

I've videoed out the front of an M3 on all the main electrified branches. Out of the times I've been to Mineola for the morning Rush, I have NEVER seen an M3 touch this branch other then M7s! Awesome video!!

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

MrMaster767 99%, we'd see train #1501, entering Mineola from the Oyster Bay Branch, all out of M7s

[@MrMaster767]

Yes. I highly doubt another M3 will touch this branch.

[@Lirrfilmer2004]

MrMaster767 well one day it will happen or maybe not

[@MrMaster767]

Perhaps

[@Lirrfilmer2004]

MrMaster767 yup

At 0:04 you can see an industrial building on the left which used to have a siding. The siding branched off and crossed Sagamore Road to serve Latham lumber . I remember driving through that industrial area as a kid and seeing an old brown boxcar sitting in the space between the two buildings. I have never been able to find any pictures of freight on that siding. Anyone from that part of Mineola/East Williston?

20:42, to the right, that Dollar Tree parking lot. Been there before, watched a bunch of LIRR trains pass by. Was fun until they told me i couldn't film lol

[@gerardmoran9560]

Not an educated observer, but it looks like a great job! I glimpsed a few interesting artifacts- the trestle to the old Creedmore Branch (heading northwest) just before the Floral Park Station? The good quality also afforded a few good looks at some of the freight sidings on the line.

[@JH-gg9cf]

How different this all looks now!

[@luxurycarkey7207]

At 3:15 look how close those cars are parked near the third rail this is unreal

[@derekrohan9619]

They are around 4-5’ from it. In a marked parking spot. No big deal as long as you don’t touch it

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

@@derekrohan9619 they probably might fence that area

[@_extra9126]

2:01 That’s my old apartment!

[@jaymorgenthal9479]

All of those crossings on the mainline are now history as the third track project progresses.

[@Olizimm]

[@cats0182]

I assume this was rush hour west bound?

[@Phineascharles10]

[@jbreezy101]

[@kelvinmcphatter25]

20:42 Jamaica parsons and archer

[@aal49]

How is it that the horns on (almost) all of the LIRR electrics sound like they have an obstruction in the air line?

[@southeasternpennsylvaniara1588]

Garry G on steam locomotives there whistles but on Diesel and Electric plus cab cars there horns.

[@Lirrfilmer2004]

this has to be rare

[@gregorytaylor240]

[@aydenamaya7951]

[@byronchavarria4954]
