the length of track, from 37:17-38:33 we played on when we were kids. LL Cool J's grandmother & wife lived on the right side (Brinkerhoff) We put rock on the tracks and loved to hear the train crush them. I got one serious ass whiping when my mother seen us throwing rocks at the train!!! Thanks alot for bringing that memory back to my mind. Queens Born and raised! Im in Philly now though!

Now that the 3rd track on mainline is almost complete it’s time to electrify the Central Branch so Babylon M7/M9 trains can be rerouted to the mainline if needed.

This is seriously my dream job right here. I pray I get called

Same here, im dying for it

I miss hearing the train horns it's so Kool

The Babylon line motormen are the world's greatest guys ever

Please engage the safety on your guns until you have exited Jamaica Station.

To me this is what I loved to see and do when I lived up there

That ride was pretty cool.

Excellent video!

Thanks for sharing, that was enjoyable to watch, especially since it ran express.

27:35 HI KING KULLEN!!! I am so homesick 😍

I will always love these videos. Been fascinated w/ trains & railroading since I was 5 yrs old. I can't imagine ever having to commute to the city every day for 40 years. I thank God I never had to. It is painful knowing that so many have no choice but to ride this horrid system of an out dated railway each day.

I miss riding the Babylon train to and from massapequa

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!!

I gotta ask. When the M3's finally go away, as they undoubtedly will, what will fill the RFW videos "hole"? The entire front of the M7's is closed off; there ain't no window. Unfortunate and sad.

No. Because I'm a railman AND a self-exiled New Yorker AND it's nice to go back and visit even if it's by video.

Yet SEPTA is adopting the RFW for the Philadelphia area. They now have it on the Market-Frankford Subway/Elevated Line as well as the Silverliner V cars on Regional Rail.

The cab door on the M7 has a shade to block the glass, sometimes if you're lucky they forget to pull up the shade and you can get a view out to the front.

So what to the ringing bell mean?

Or was it “super express” where you ran direct to Jamaica?

this was an express train to Jamaica because it was for people connecting from the Speonk Diesel train

Excellent video. But I gotta tell you, that train seems to be just poking along on straight track that seems to beg for faster speed. I didn't see any yellow, diamond-shaped speed signs. What is the maximum speed on that track?

@@NYCTARailfan - They should have sent the express first, and then sent the local as soon as it got an "approach" signal. The local would have gotten "clear" signals all the way in after the 1st or 2nd station.

half of the wantagh station is complete on the east side, west side is not.

Can anyone tell me the reason why it’s going so freaking slow on a perfectly straight track?

NYCTA Railfan Sadly there’s no dedicated express track, not even multiple tracks in station to overtake.

I spy an M3...

Are these all new signals?

@kevinhoward9593

Some look like they are, but most are original PRR signals. (PRR had control of LIRR from 1900-1949). Which explains why there are PRR signals. even new ones that still look like them.

What's with the Bell?
