The videos you post are surprisingly identical to the video put out by "Railroad Video Productions" in 1993, copywritten by Walter M. Berko. I'm just sayin....
@farnsworth81 It is really? I had no idea! I found these on recorded VHS tapes and they were unmarked. I never intended to take credit for this at all anyway. I wanted to post these for enjoyment. Thanks though!
Hey man, these old videos of the previous lirr fleet are great! Do you happen to have the rest of this trip? It's neat seeing the low platforms, the now removed freight sidings, ond the other trains passing by.
@rpm2night Thank You! I'm glad you enjoy them! I do have the rest of the trip but I have been really busy. That's why I haven't uploaded a lot in a while. Whenever I'll get the time I will upload some more parts of this trip. Thanks Again!
The HEP unit was a unit that supplied the lighting and the heating or cooling in the passenger cars. They were called Power Packs. They were old engines that had their traction motors removed. Most engineers didn't like them.
there's a train that runs eastbound out to montauk every morning. It leaves Jamaica around 1am, gets to montauk around 4am. It uses the central branch. Often I go out and watch it come through the grade crossing by my house :)
Cool! I like when they send trains down the Central Branch. I thing it's quicker to get to Babylon using the Main Line and the Central Branch then using the Montauk Branch.
Wow, except for the Cannonball, I've never seen a diesel bypass Bay Shore.

It was either an FA or an MP15AC

I think it was a FA.

I wonder if this train had a Alco FA-2 HEP unit on the other end.
