Vintage LIRR 1986 Alcos & EMD power Passenger & Freight

[@thehouseofhorsepowerautobo4506]

Thank you so much for posting and sharing these videos! This brings me back to my childhood as I lived in Carle Place and played at the park where the trains would go through all the time. My childhood home was the 4 house from the tracks those old locomotives would rattle the window when loaded! So cool!

[@mrjv61]

Happy you enjoyed it.

[@thehouseofhorsepowerautobo4506]

@mrjv61 definitely warm and fuzzy feelings lol Merry Christmas!

[@ghostengineer]

I really love your old LIRR videos. This is the LIRR I grew up with.

[@LINYTrains]

Great video, that must have been a giant camcorder back in 1986.

[@TBF_1J]

oh how i miss you man. R.I.P. ✊🏽

[@Nurvington]

Finding your Channel this week has been a great treat. The LIRR I grew up with. Thanks for uploading these videos!

[@aerobee58]

Same here, back when locomotives were locomotives.

[@Art397R]

I remember seeing these as a kid growing up in Bellport in the 90s, time sure flys

When you are knee-high to a grasshopper and you’re standing on a ground level platform, you can’t help but be in awe!😃😲👍

20:16 Hoo boy, that car tire screech! 😂

[@Obrien975]

Loved this video. I grew up in E. North Port and moved out in '86 at the age of 22. Watching this brought back a lot of great memories of my childhood.

[@allencollins6031]

Jeez to this day I hear east Northport and reminded of Kaso and Triano.

[@Obrien975]

@@allencollins6031 I know who you're talking about that incident at North Port harbor

[@allencollins6031]

@@Obrien975 yeah man. I was like 17at the time. Picked up Triano hitching on 25A from KP to Northport. He didn't talk much, but I already knew they were heavily into dust. So I was like....ugh why did I pick this dude up. The whole thing in the woods was about money. Felt bad for that kid. Just hanging with the wrong crowd.

Great video. It brings back memories of riding the LIRR to Patchogue during the early to mid ‘80s. I had friends in Bellport I visited on weekends. I loved the power, but the coaches left much to be desired.

[@tomy.1846]

These videos you took are excellent!!! Thanks for sharing them. :)

[@PW5RF70]

Absolutely fantastic, thanks as always for taking the time to upload. Rare to see footage (or even photos) at the Suffolk Matls siding. The Smithtown stuff is always a treat.

[@RichardPagano-jx1dz]

Nothing like the sound of that GP38's get up and go as it pulls out of Patchogue Station.

[@LIMowersAndMore]

My god my home station Patchogue, I miss PD tower the leaning tower of the east.

[@metrofanm3a308]

80s looked like a fun decade espically for the railroads

[@jamesleopard8518]

6:17 I never saw the two diesels like this before, the SD 60 Diesel Locomotive first, and the FL9 Diesel Locomotive second!!!!

[@ebf82234]

Nope. That's a GP38-2 leading, with a de-powered (no prime mover) FA-2, classified (by LIRR) as a PC-1 (power car providing HEP to passenger cars).

[@ebf82234]

Correction...de-powered FA-2's (as LIRR "power cars") were classified "PC-6", not PC-1.

[@Steven_Williams]

Great vintage!

[@johnniebee4328]

I would get so excited when I was growing up to get a glimpse of the diesel engines at Jamaica. The trains now are all boring although the M9s are kind of sharp.

[@Leveractionjake]

For a second I thought I was looking at the long hood of one of the GP38's before I realized was a high nose C-420.

[@warrenhoffman2006]

At 7:00 the last Parlor Car has a marker light out.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

How cool the first patchogue shot signal looks like it's still got an old wishbone gate at the time?

[@jonathantaylor5217]

Does anyone remember the small rail yard by Mitchell field. Just south of stewart ave, and quentin Roosevelt blvd.Where the circus train used to park

[@DTD110865]

I'd love to find some surviving FA-2's. Some surviving EMD SW1001s wouldn't be so bad either.

[@mikeconfalone8790]

Ok, where is the Kings Park Psych Center coal train footage? Please tell me you have something! This is just killer stuff. Thanks for posting.

[@mrjv61]

The only video from Kings Park is with MP-15's. Its been uploaded on my channel for many years. Maybe I'll make a video of the stills and slides from there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opq7oKlvrpabr8k

[@mikeconfalone8790]

@@mrjv61 Sure that would be great. Thanks!

[@jaymorgenthal9479]

I rode on that branch on the M1 gas turbine experimental cars on a 1977 ERA fan trip

[@aerobee58]

This video is great. Did you live in Patchouge? For us at the time, that was the nearest town that had a lot more than we had. I remember "Wahlum" chinese restaurant. I lived in Center Moriches in the 70's on Chichester Ave . about 5 houses east from the Grade Crossing. We ran up there many times to see the trains. I also remember The C420's when they were painted the Orange and Gray. Thanks for sharing these great days.

[@mrjv61]

Never lived in Patchouge, but took some videos there.

[@lotharhamburg5343]

Remember the bar car

[@hardyhector8308]

Hey, what type of horn did the FA-1's have?

[@syxxhits917]

Thanks. More to Come
