[@niccosrailfanning]

Nice video Larry! Good to see you finally caught one of the many 8 cars they’ve been running. I caught them east at my house and west at Albertson. Hope to see you soon and get some trains!

Wassup Larry good to see you man hey so the 8 car sets and two localmotives have been running alot i seen it on the LIRR map plus that and 7 car sets

[@Larry_P]

Hey Gregory yep they have been running the 7-8 car double engine sets on my branch a lot more since late January I believe but it hasn’t been happening as much as it used to lately. They are most likely moving equipment around or have an equipment shortage or finally what I was thinking is that they need an extra train for #14 on Fridays.

[@gregorytaylor240]

@@Larry_P yeap I guess they will continue to use the equipment then they should have been used it a lot in my opinion they should just use it a lot because those trains with that many cars don't run a lot

[@gregorytaylor240]

@@Larry_P I know I said this before but they should have been started using that much equipment since 2021 or 2019 but back then they didn't use it now they are using it now I guess times do change man If I do come to New York and I see They Using that much equipment then that my Golden Ticket to catch the 8 car sets and 2 local motives or 7 car sets it depends as long as I'm onboard a a train with double engine im good Heck I know the Cannonball Express train gonna run soon next month and everyone gonna catch it I mean I already know it runs from May Threw September I know the schedule of the Cannonball Express yeap 😎

Lol how does a peak train from penn get assigned less cars than a off-peak to jamaica?

[@Larry_P]

I know right it does not make sense I am not sure why they don’t just put the extra 8 car set on train #44 which is from Penn Station to Speonk instead they only give that train 5 cars. I speculate that they are just moving equipment around or have an equipment shortage or they might need an extra set for train #14 on Fridays

[@gregorytaylor240]

They do sometimes give the train 6 cars and 2 locomotives as well sometimes but not all the time I believe

[@Larry_P]

Yea it depends sometimes it can be 5 and sometimes it can be 6.
