⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Long Island Railroad Timelapse - The Eastbound Port Washington Branch

The Long Island Rail Road operates a small fleet of M3-type cars, which have a front window that is accessible to passengers! This is a timelapse of the view from New York Penn Station to Port Washington, the entire length of the Port Washington Branch. Enjoy!

I like how the music ended in sync at the last stop

[@gmrocha63]

How i miss this train. I lived in Port Washington(Main St.and Manorhaven) from may 1998 to december 2009. Today i live in Brazil again. In my days off i traveled to NY by train in the morning and back after 8 PM, off-peak time. I hope to visit my friends in Port Washington this year and take the train again. Great video!!

[@brmnyc]

I commute from Manhattan to Great Neck, so thanks to this video I finally know what the rest of the trip looks like, such as how the line goes from two tracks to one.

[@longcentralfilms4671]

Me too, I live in Great Neck and I go to Flushing Main Street and sometimes Penn Station soon in the Future Grand Central Madison, I never knew what was the rest of the line looked like

[@kmerena]

I was born train-insane. I was raised in Roslyn and when we didn't ride the Oyster Bay line into Penn Station (Change at Jamaica) we would ride the Port line. Edna St. Vincent Milay actually got this line from me: "There isn't a train I wouldn't ride, no matter where it's going". Now I'm old and near the end of the line and I live in Ecuador. I still "ride" the DJ Hammer trains to quell my train jones whenever I get the calling. The memories are too many to recount.

[@organman52]

How GREAT that the Flushing line just happened to be going across as you came out of the tunnel.

I´ve been there before since 2018

[@billysmith367official5]

M3 is a beast! Best train along with the M1!

[@leaningright4534]

As a Sydneysider I think nyc subway has opportunity to be very classy like moscow or Sydney. The station platforms are very dirty and old, but it’s a big network and I’m sure the mta could probably afford to upgrade the stations and make them as nice as the ones in Sydney. Here in Sydney all of our stations have shelter and the platforms are all kept clean

[@travelsofmunch1476]

This isn't the New York Subway. This is the LIRR Commuter Rail. Also you've had a one line metro for like a year, of course its clean.

[@larrybrennan9700]

This was my daily - Penn Great Neck for about eight years. (Before that it was the L to the J or the A for my job in lower Manhattan)

Nice upload DJ, happy new year's to you

Cool! I want to go on this line soon!

Great video!

[@EASsirenVids01]

I love non-peak on this branch. It really reduces the ride time.

[@1940limited]

Amazing!

[@Thamsdwolfnycofficial_8420]

Fantastic video

[@pelhamexpress133]

Wow Amazing!!

[@void2258]

They need to add a second track to the end. If right of way is the issue (I see some houses very close to the single track), they should just go above as the 7 train does in some parts of queens.

[@nuttykiya]

Damn I wish the trains ran this fast in real life... maybe I get to work on time 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@kevinpatrick4408]

That train handles like it's on rails!

i take this everyday to get to school!

[@litlgrey]

As a viewer of timelapse rail videos, there is one thing I have learned from watching Chicago's CTA official rail videos: Mute the music, and watch in 2x! Maximum speed, minimum distraction! Wheeeee-eeeee-eeeeeee!!!

[@skyforce2132]

I’m gonna be honest. I would enjoy it more if it was real time with the audio and maybe speed up at the train stops. Just my opinion though. Otherwise great video 👍

[@m0dze1532]

He will upload the normal version soon,its a very large file definitely because the route is long and its at 4k 60fps

[@skyforce2132]

modzel26 oh ok that’s fair

[@m0dze1532]

@Ali Muhammad i am right. 4k video files are very larger compared to 1080p, 720p,etc. Especially with 60fps. It will take hours to upload the video on KZbin in his PC

[@m0dze1532]

@Ali Muhammad it actually takes him like 4+ months to upload the footage for him for some reason i don't know why

[@DJHammersTrains]

It’s mostly because I heavily post process the footage to reduce noise. That increases the processing time to around a week, and uploading a 200GB video file takes quite a while too. I’ll do my best to get to it! Lots of videos coming up soon.

Epilepz!

[@Urban_Man]

So they allow you to film?

[@kevinb8881]

Just out of curiosity, how come LIRR doesn't run diesel/bilevel trains on the Port Washington Branch?

[@m3lgar582]

The whole line is electrified for using third rail so there is no need for diesel trains to go through. Furthermore, there are lots of bridges on the line where a double decker car is to tall to go through.

[@camera9024]

What’s the song used for this?

[@EpicThe112]

If you did this in real time it should take you 45 minutes because my mom used to work in Port Washington Amsterdam Harborside next to the nice bus Harborside stop.

Since this was sped up 10x, I could say 40 minutes end to end.

[@tubblescousine257]

[@rontroy3843]

Is part of the line only single-tracked?

[@kkparis]

Ron Troy Yes, the line is single tracked east of Great Neck. Double tracking this section will be very difficult due to the terrain and soil condition neighboring the Manhasset Viaduct

[@rontroy3843]

@@kkparis Does that cause problems or bottlenecks? Seems to me far enough out to not make that much of a difference. And why some trains only go to GN. Though I'm guessing more would go all the way if it wasn't for the single tracking.

[@kkparis]

Ron Troy The single track works but is far from optimal. PW is a more or less a yard. The trains feeds into the yard (PW) at night and drains out at the morning. But that means the line will halt to a stand still during disruptions, which is why some trains turn short at GN. It’s also very wasteful for the fleets cuz many times they have to sit in the yard as there is no way out.

[@rontroy3843]

@@kkparis Anyone ever price out the work to double track?

[@kkparis]

Ron Troy None that I know of

[@stantheman9689]

Turn off the volume,,, And play it back at 0.25 speed,,,, Watch it👁️👁️ and tell me we all wish the train could go that fast at least 😙🤔

[@rontroy3843]

It is about 40 miles from Penn to East Northport. Fastest train of the day is scheduled for 62 minutes (though once I saw it do it in 50 minutes without breaking a sweat. Worst train of the day with transfer takes about 90 minutes - less than 30 MPH. I try to imagine what it would be like to have the train do it in say, 40 minutes. But for GCT travelers, it will never be decent because LIRR knowingly bought double deckers 20 plus years ago that would never fit in the 63rd Street LIRR tunnel to GCT. Oh, and LIRR does not seem to intend a viable transfer from diesels to GCT.
