    After Laurelton at around the 8:14 mark there was a long ago spur that cut south across the Belt Parkway/Conduit Blvd thru Brookville Park & the sourthern most section of Rosedale, thru Hook Creek Park & North Woodmere Golf Course - running Parallel between Oakland Ave & Arbuckle Ave across W Broadway past Cedarhurst Park where it curved southwest to merge with the Far Rockaway Branch. This junction was called the "Cedarhurst Cut-off". The ROW was built in 1871 and went thru off & on service which ended in 1934. If you know where to look, there is evidence of where the ROW used to run thru Brookville Park & also remnants of the rail bridge at North Woodmere Park that can still be seen today.

    For fans not familiar with the different power systems in electrified territories on the 2 Railroads run by MTA ( LIRR and Metro North), LIRR uses over running third rail with a protector board suspended over it. Metro North uses under running third rail. On the portion of the New haven line between Pelham and New Haven there is overhead cantenary. Because of the two different third rail systems, the new LIRR east side access into Grand Central terminal is being built under metro north with no track connections between the two railroads.

    The bell you hear is an alert for the operator that the cab signals have detected a restricted block . He must acknowledge it by stepping on a foot pedal and apply the brakes. If he fails to slow or stop the on board system will initiate a "penalty application" to slow or stop the train. LIRR uses a ringing bell to alert the operator and Metro North uses a series of rapid beeps.

    Far Rockaway isn't much just a single platform. The original station was low level outside platforms on the 1942 elevated structure. It was torn down after the present station opened at Nameoke Ave. in 1958 and the property sold and redeveloped as a shopping center. The current NYCTA Mott Ave. station also opened in 1958 across the street from the old LIRR station. The line was severed at that point after the NYCTA bought the Rockaway branches south of Ozone Park from the LIRR in 1952 and rebuilt them for subway operation. The first subway trains operated to the Rockaways on June 28, 1956.

    It is the alerter which is part of the automatic speed control system. The engineer has a certain amount of time to acknowledge the alert by pressing a button. If he fails to respond the ASC stops the train by applying the brakes.

    It's true that most of the freight which is hauled by the NY and Atlantic on the LIRR travels on the Main Line to points farther east on Long Island. At one time there was a considerable amount of freight traffic on the Far Rockaway and other branches. Today most of the freight moves in electrified territory take place at night due to the amount of passenger traffic carried in the daytime.

    Frankly, I don't give a damn about Europe or Asia or Scandinavia, etc. If you are so enamored of overseas mass transit systems, why not go live there? Mass transit in NYC is a money-losing sewer. You can put a gazillion dollars into the system and it will still be a money-losing sewer. People in NYC and NYS and NJ and CT are taxed to the hilt. Those who can leave are doing so. These areas are losing population at an alarming rate. Mass transit everywhere is a money-losing sewer. Municipal mass transit systems were privately owned. For a lot of complicated reasons, the fare box didn't pay the freight. When the companies began to go bankrupt, the municipalities were left with 2 choices; public financing OR shut downs. Municipalities chose public financing. That's how we got today's mess.
