My dad worked for the LIRR for 23 years back in in the 60's and 70's. He took me a number of times with him on the MA-8 run. Some of my happiest memories! Thanks for posting this!

Wow I can’t believe the M7s are being retired now. Truly an end of an era 😢
@RiverRailPhoto Жыл бұрын
The M7s are not being retired as a class, as described in the caption, these cars are being scrapped because of irreparable damage from an accident

What a shame even though these cars were damaged beyond repair it's still sad to see them go. I could even still see the advertisement posters inside some of the cars, so sad.

Wow that was hottttt!!!! In the background I saw a couple of NY/NJ rail engines. At the right times you can catch these engines moving freight cars doing some live street running in Brooklyn adjacent to the Brooklyn naval base. Big trains running right down the middle of the street in that area sharing the road and streets with cars, trucks and buses. It’s so cool to see. But timing is everything, you really have to get lucky to see it happening. I am pretty sure that it doesn’t run everyday. But if you can catch it, it is a BIG DEAL for rail fans.

@@dapperdonny4051 They did, but there's two issues with it; first, you can only take so many spares; second, there's a liability issue is a part from a wreck damaged unit is used in another unit, and causes an issue that results in injury.

May I ask how they got damaged?
@thecarspotter141 Жыл бұрын
The first few were damaged back in 2016 from when they hit a work train and one other hit the platform at Old Westbury and another one crashed into the bumper block at Atlantic Terminal
