LIRR: A Wonderful Friday Rush Hour In Mineola

[@SimbaC2007]

Love seeing the Headlight change!

[@MrMaster767]

Same.

[@ssnoc]

The LIRR is a crazy busy railroad - but it still needs to be electric from Huntington to Port Jeff. It’s been promised since the late 70’s .....

[@MrMaster767]

Honestly, Central Branch first and electrify Montauk up to Patchogue. Some had that idea for a while.

[@nathanielcoleman5694]

No. Just no. I want to continue to see the C3 bilevels since they might be the last bilevels the LIRR ever obtains.

[@nathanielcoleman5694]

@@MrMaster767 Again, the C3s are the only bilevels in NY state. If the entire LIRR is electrified, they will be scrapped prematurely because the MTA is not going to spend $20 million+ to get new electric locomotives for them

[@trainlover123trainsrock]

@@MrMaster767 question: isn’t there a law that requires a bell on all trains? How come the M7’s and others don’t have a bell still?

That was a nice Doppler effect! 11:12

[@gengarbeast0420]

I love all train videos

[@thesubwaynut]

one of my videos was taken along this section too, Front Street

[@_extra9126]

22:14 are you allowed to railfan from there?

[@deepfried2258]

I went on DE30AC 417 a month ago.

[@davidsteiner-zk3lt]

I love it great job

[@RobloxGamer6422]

These videos are a part of my childhood

[@davidsteiner1921]

Good look for you from David Steiner good job

[@aaronbayat3579]

Nice shots, do the dm30ac engines convert from electric to diesel power after the third rail ends once they depart East Wilson? Also what power is stronger, electric or diesel?

[@MrMaster767]

***** Yes

[@MrMaster767]

Aaron Bayat Diesel. And they can stay in Electric as long as the Engineer wants to. And if 3rd Rail is present.

[@LIRR175]

MrMaster767 Not true. Eastbound DM's must change to diesel in Woodside, westbounds at NASSAU/PORT if I remember (before Jamaica, so that if something goes wrong there's mechanics at the ready, and it's easy to cancel the train if need be)

[@MrMaster767]

LIRR175 Ahh. Got it. But it would be cool to hear it going through like Mineola or along the Babylon line in Electric power.

[@EMDFAN1988]

MrMaster767 There's really nothing different other then you hear the fans going nuts, traction motors are more audible, You hear the traction motor blowers, Air compressor... Really nothing too exciting about it. They are a hell of a lot faster in E mode vs D mode because the traction motors don't have to wait for the engine to load up and deliver power to em. It's all right there from the 3rd rail so it's instant torque.

[@TylerRailfan210]

A lot of trains going on the wrong track

[@clemchrischannel3994]

Was that train at the end stuck or it was being held up?

[@SSantana82]

It was a red light it was waiting for the c3 to pass

[@MrMaster767]

+Matthew Lyn M9s. by 2017 they'll start replacing M3s. By 2020 they'll all be gone.

[@matthewlyn6058]

+MrMaster767 when are they coming?

[@MrMaster767]

Matthew Lyn 2017

[@matthewlyn6058]

So that means the M3's went threw rehab already?
