LIRR: Friday Mineola Evening Rush w/avasic1995

[@chessiesystemrailfanman3741]

Whoa that was a little too close at 1:12!!

[@NYR2218]

Great video by the way!

[@LIRR175]

Do you happen to know what that first M7 was? The next 8 car M7 was 2096, 658 passed already, it was quite crowded for this time of year, and 1722 or 2060 doesn't make Mineola.

Nice video! How frequent are the trains through here in peak hour?

[@MrMaster767]

For 3 hours straight, theres a train every 2-5 minutes here.

[@marcpurcell492]

Nice!

[@MrMaster767]

Thanks mate!

[@MrMaster767]

Can't, however, I'm going to Sayville for #2793 to Penn Station on New Years Eve

[@avasic1995]

Nice video. My video should be up soon.

[@MrMaster767]

lookin' forward to it!

[@mikeconnolly2791]

is that 1st Oyster Bay Branch train supposed to be stopped at a signal if theres already a train at mineola??

[@MrMaster767]

The signal, the first OB train saw was either a Permissive block, or a Slow Approach. Permissive Block allows one train to follow another at slow speed but with the block occupied, it will mean stop short of a train or obstruction not over 15 MPH. Slow Approach, will mean proceed under 15 MPH and prepare to stop at next signal. That train may have hit a Slow approach signal with that M7 still in the station.

[@mikeconnolly2791]

MrMaster767 okay gotcha i was jw cause i noticed that there was no signal when the train was exiting the Nassau Interlocking

[@NYR2218]

was one of the K5LA 416?

[@MrMaster767]

the one by the curve? Not sure but either 416 or 418

[@avasic1995]

MrMaster767 it was 418

[@NYR2218]

some of the westbounds were double engines thats weird

[@MrMaster767]

Not at all. Usually cabcar shortage or something else would be the reason behind that. Thanks!
