After having run trains in the midwest for the CP all my career, I have to say this ...the track and signals, etc., shown in this video are nothing short of outstanding! The rest of the USA and Amtrack need to get their collective act together!

As a 21 year old Australian tourist I rode this train in 1998, on a quest to find the location of The Great Gatsby. It was a magical experience. So much so that 13 years later I took my (then new!) wife to recreate the journey. it would be hard to find many places that are FURTHER away from Sydney, Australia, but since that day in 98 I've felt like I'm connected to it. Special memory.

Having grown up riding the LIRR, it was wonderful seeing it from this perspective. Thanks!

These type of rail videos are dominated by ones from Japan and Europe on KZread so its nice to see one from NA - Thank you :)

I rode this line for 4-6 yrs. It's so quiet that it's easy to fall asleep.

I've taken this train many times between Penn and Great Neck but never had seen the forward view inside the tunnel under Manhattan and East River. This brought back many memories.

LIRR! Truly enjoy riding on the Long Island Railroad! Awesome.

I miss riding the subway, seeing all that the city had to offer. Be safe NY

spent 15 great years on wall st, making some fine money. Left NYC now but love its grimy but effective transit. Thanks for the nostalgia

I used to ride this line when I was growing up in Great Neck. The MP70 double-decker cars were a favorite of mine. This is a great video. Thanks for sharing.

Took that ride home from work every day Penn to Bayside in the 80’s. Everything still looks the same. Thanks.

Greetings from the UK! Thanks for posting this very interesting starting off with the complexity of Penn and then ending up on a single track branch line. Looking forward to watching some more routes.

VERY nice video record in this recording! I last rode this line (westbound/eastbound) from Port Washington-Shea Stadium for a Met's game in early June 1965. My Mom drove us from Syosset to Port Washington, so we could train ride rest of way, she shopped in Port Washington/Manhasset (Miracle Mile?) area until we returned after game by train. We moved from Syosset to Northern Virginia suburb of Fairfax (talk about culture shock!) in late June. I was 14 1/2 years old then. Video brought back some fond memories of LIRR rides I took often- many Mets games among them, mostly from Syosset to Penn Station and back. Will look into some of the other 'now know available' videos of LIRR trips from you. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!

Great clip. Spent my early years in Great Neck and did this trip many times. Last time was 1969 when I was inducted into the Army. Came back from Vietnam and ended up migrating to Australia from the UK of all places. Been here ever since. Never rode it again….long time ago now. Some real memories here.

I use to take the port Washington line to Great Neck with my mom to visit my aunt when I was little, this brings back old memories .

I rode this train daily for 3 plus years while living in both Flushing and Auburndale. Always stood at either front or back windows.

The LIRR is so different from other commuter railroads in the USA. Port Washington is an interesting line

This was great! Thanks for sharing. Been since March, 2020 that I last commuted with the LIRR.

Nice video will be watching more of yours ty for sharing with us.
