LIRR HD 60fps: One Hour of Continuous Action @ Woodside During Evening Rush Hour (1/12/17)

[@robertcollis7951]

My daughter is a Senior Conductor on the LIRR. I remember the anguish she went through the first year with the studying and exams she went through. I remember the day she was presented with her LIRR conductors hat and name badge and how proud she was. Now she has seniority and usually a good choice of assignments and makes a very good wage and benefits. It wasn’t until I saw this video that I could appreciate what she has for from the beginning. I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

[@cehayes74]

Robert Collis Congratulations 2 her & The LIRR Exams are very strict !!! I’m glad she hung in there & has some seniority & again Congratulations 2 her 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 !!!!

[@jackslc01]

What school did she attended to sir?

[@funygirl38]

What's mind boggling is the sheer logistics that go into keeping the MTA running on a daily basis. Remarkable.

[@ItalianStallian]

That's IF they don't have any service suspensions, which occur almost every day.

[@ЮрКа-ю8й]

Thank you! It's a kind of relax video. There is no railroad in my town in Russia, but when I go to a nearest city I walk to train station and watch a trains goes by.

[@FanRailer]

I'm glad you enjoyed =)

[@cehayes74]

As a railroader myself, I appreciate this video & when I’m out that way I make it a habit to ride the LIRR & NJ Transit 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 !!!!

[@Harveycartoonlvr11]

Being born and raised in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana Area, I've always had a great interest in the Commuter Railroads in and around New York City! Great Video indeed! :)

[@jacktucker9487]

Saxiesax 2 Especially Metra!

[@mr.aln6639]

Best video of LIRR !! Best Regards from Italy

[@twofoottaylor1]

An amazing video of the LIRR ... thanks so much for posting and sharing with your viewers.

[@TuukkaVarjoranta]

Interesting footage of the LIRR! Best regards from Finland, Tuukka

[@willybus]

The video is very good. In my city São Paulo Brazil, the suburban train system is cleared, the rush hour is practically impossible to see empty trains ..

[@lousherwood8227]

Spent part of the afternoon here couple of days ago, and even right before the rush, the traffic levels are quite impressive, at around 1530, the deadhead runs into PS start up, and it gets really interesting.,.. do note the Pennsy-style stub signals, and the MN M2 , that hasn't been stripped of all its blue striping yet!

[@rolandoruiz5349]

wow u could really hear that 7 train at 2:37

[@ramonestubblefield758]

I noticed another railman on the platform this is definitely the place to be during rush hour

[@KickzNTransit]

I'll be making a trip to New Hyde Park soon to run some errands and will do some railfanning while I'm at it.

[@wyattsmith2498]

Lots of (7) train action in the background. I like it.

[@ianstrauss2840]

Always love your videos man, heading in for a weekend with my Uncle tomorrow, planning to hit the NEC and also check out the 2nd Ave subway for my first time. Should be a fun weekend. Keep posting videos!

[@ACLTony]

Excellent and smooth job in recording! Question: Are the Metropolitans still running?

[@aviatorx4563]

ACLTony Yup. But not as often. I see it like 4 times a week

[@donaldambrose7292]

Great videos, thanks.

[@solo6058]

I saw a metro north train (m7) with his headlights on on the back of the train while railfanning

[@thenewyorkrailfan]

Very cool action at my local station!

[@TheThunderfan97]

Training to become a assistant conductor with the lirr, cant wait to finally be hired was supposed to start last year 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mattguy2998]

My girl used 2 live by this line.never took these trains but I took the 7 train above it plenty of times 2 see her.

[@BiscuitsandWar]

Amazing footage

[@ActNormalKid]

Great video! I'm from DC. What are those yellow elevated platform pieces for (the one he was standing on at 6:00)?

[@FanRailer]

Those are bridge plates. They are for when the track closest to the platform is closed. They allow trains to access the station from the express tracks.

[@visionist7]

@@FanRailer do they get placed on the brackets seen at 3:27 ? How do they mount them?

[@longmetro44l.5]

I luv the Long Island Railroad .

[@robertcresthull7564]

I hate lirr I love nj transit

[@zoyoko]

Long Metro44 L. I like metro north better because it has different trains the lirr just has one car type

[@zoyoko]

2:33 never mind my last comment

[@zycklacon9588]

+Robert Cresthull NJTransit is slow

[@jacktucker9487]

Umm, have you been on the LIRR? It sucks.

[@brian_the_person]

So how do you know that a train is coming around the turn like 16:18? Is it a lucky shot or do you just know it's coming?

[@FanRailer]

You can hear the rails singing.

[@hermerelastnamergamer8115]

14:49 did anybody notice that train up there

[@SavvDaDon]

That's the 7 line

[@andrewmpachetti]

The nyc 7 subway line stops at Woodside as well as the lirr

[@fatoumatasissoko91]

Also, this is where the R46 went testing and you can see the 61st street, woodside avenue on the flushing line

[@TBF_1J]

Dont forget the 44.

[@zoyoko]

3:46 I saw a 7 train

[@dylanbright9387]

Why is it that the LIRR uses its horns so much less that Metro North, NJT, and Amtrak?

[@FanRailer]

This is Woodside; there may be different regulations governing horn usage within the city terminal zone, but once you get out onto Long Island, the horns are used regularly.

[@sonicboy678]

To add to this, there are almost no grade crossings within NYC, and likely fewer grade crossings in general. It also helps that there is little traffic from other railroads.

[@benwoodson526]

Pretty good videos

[@lohphat]

Why are trains running on diesel when there's a 3rd rail available? I understand there are outer stations not powered, but once they have power available, why not use it?

[@SSantana82]

Because further east from Manhattan, past Huntington or Hicksville the diesels will run on their tracks with no third rails there, and they will either terminate to Penn Station or Jamaica. The 3rd rails only there in the video because of the M7s, M3s or M9s.

[@gerardmoran9560]

Someone please help. I'm not a railroader but curious. At about 2:57 I saw a yellow over flashing red. What's that aspect indicate?

[@FanRailer]

That's a red over flashing red. The top red aspect is faded somewhat. Stop and Proceed.

[@justinfeng2529]

I've been on the LIRR many times. Also, why did the trains skip the stop.

[@emmettf5915]

Justin Feng Rush hours

[@justrant]

is it me or do most lirr railfanners go to woodside?

[@SSantana82]

Not really, most go to either Mineola, New Hyde Park (Before the Third Track Project), Bethpage, Jamaica, Hunterspoint Ave if you want Amtrak or NJT, or Penn Station

[@TheTransitNetwork]

Just a question before I try to railfan the LIRR on my main channel, To just go to the station do you need to buy a ticket? Or do you only need to buy a ticket to ride the train? I think you only need to buy the ticket if you ride, but I just want to make sure :O

[@FanRailer]

You don't need a ticket per se to be on the platform, but it's always better to be a "passenger" when you get hassled for filming. At least then you have an excuse to be there besides filming.

[@dbkoobnyc4815]

You got lucky bout an hour later they shut down Penn Station bound service due to broken rail

[@dbkoobnyc4815]

no i was on the trains they were not going west of Jamaica to Penn. That was a train accident this was a broken rail. www.mta.info/press-release/lirr/lirr-service-advisory-pm-rush-hour-wednesday-january-11-2017

[@SimbaC2007]

Is this on your phone?

[@sherwinnoorian9260]

It’s a great, underrated system. However the continued use of paper ticket clippers is a little absurd …

[@noodlegames804]

WHAT IS THAT NOISE THEY MAKE AND WHY DO THEY MAKE IT

[@FanRailer]

Caps lock is unnecessary.... www.google.com/search?q=igbt+inverter&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS612US612&oq=igbt+inv&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l4.4961j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

[@noodlegames804]

Fan Railer SORRY

[@lgalink70sbs]

what kind of camera do u have

[@BVERailer]

Do DM/DE30's still head into NY Penn? I havent seen one in there.

[@FanRailer]

DEs never head into Penn. The winter timetable has the two DM Port Jeff trains inbound in the morning and two outbound in the evening.

[@BVERailer]

Fan Railer About what time in the morning? Because I have been to Penn Station at about like 10:30/11:30

[@FanRailer]

lol go look up the port jefferson branch schedule and find the direct trains. 10:30 is WAY past the rush hour so you've missed the last inbound train by an hour and a half already.

[@robertcresthull7564]

can you do more Pennsauken transit center videos

[@robertcresthull7564]

I ment ac line .

[@Trucker__Dee]

That the 7 train above?

[@sonicboy678]

The 7 stops here, which you'll be able to hear quite a bit.

[@mrstix2306]

are you going to get video of Metro North trains?

[@FanRailer]

Not for a while.

[@mrstix2306]

Ok

[@ismailadiallo2073]

what is the train in the back

[@6z0]

ismaila Diallo thats line 7 with the nyc subway

[@ronsgonewrong6376]

That’s Pennsylvania station

[@nicholasmulder4874]

Buddy, IRT hasn't been spoken in NYC for a better part of 50 years, it's called the MTA

[@FanRailer]

lmao maybe not by you, but with the TA, most definitely.

[@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS]

They've always called it IRT or IND depending on what subway line you're talking about.

[@daniel2gud]

0:05 sounds like a Windows starting up lol

[@mosquitogzz]

traction motors

[@Trainsallday]

what camera did you use to record its A+

[@FanRailer]

Panasonic HC-V770

[@Trainsallday]

Fan Railer thanks!

[@RedArrow73]

Express Track speed = ?

[@FanRailer]

through here? All tracks 60 mph in the station. There's a 45 mph curve directly west of the station though, so most trains are either accelerating out of it, or braking for it depending on direction of travel.

[@shulinglinsandoval7074]

I also saw a subway train
