Like the Engineer on #407 good work with the horn, easy does it, Homeowners love it, my Dad was in Engine Service on the LIRR, took pride with safety and saving hearing on people.

I guess I’m just a guy who believes in using horns to full potential for safety sake. It does seem obvious there’s a horn attitude in that neighborhood.

Somehow I’m just seeing this video. I’ve always found that bit of track between Harold and LIC to be very fascinating. My favorite part of my trips there is watching the trains enter the station

As a Long Island ex-patriot, I am enjoying your LIRR coverage and commentary. Please keep it up!

Excellent job. One of my favorite spots. I remember this from my commute to school on the #7 train. I still enjoy just standing around and watching the great variety of equipment at this location. Well done. :)

I mean this is just incredible footage. Love the detail of your commentary - so much to learn about this area.

Ayyyyeeeeee I love railfanning here cuz it’s my neighborhood! It’s a hidden gem. Hunters point ave station has everything from the subway, Amtrak, lirr , njt, and even some local freight. The infrastructure is amazing to look at plus you got sunny side yard under the queens borough bridge.

Good looking trains in the yard sir

I love your videos, very informative

I loved this video. My first trip on the LIRR was in 1964, from Penn Station to the New York Worlds Fair. Rode MP-54 MU cars (like the Pennsy Red Cars). Can you do a video on the LIRR from the past (1950's and 1960's). They use to run heavyweight Parlor cars and steam coaches to eastern points on Long Island from Penn Station with electric locomotives to Jamaica, then switch to either steam or diesel locomotives. I would love to see video of that operation.

Great video! I could spend hours watching those trains and subways.

I am so happy that NJ Transit STILL Operates those, "Jersey Arrow" MUs...at LEAST THE SOUTH SHORE LINE HERE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA (where I reside) aren't alone in running not quite, but nearly identical equipment! After all, those cars are where the design IDEA came from! :)

Fascinating location, this has been an eye opener. Must have been great in the heyday of PRR shuttling in and out of Sunnyside.

I commute to Hunterspoint everyday.great video!!16:39 upper right black building ,my office for the last 21 years 47-40 21st ...

My late husband and I would make "whoopie" in the last car on the 10:31 from Penn to Massapequa. One day the conductor caught us in M1 car 9003 with our pants down and told us to clean up our act. We asked if he had any napkins so we could clean up. He said no, so we just continued until we got to Seaford and started to button and zip up from there. Talk about the train coming into the tunnel! Oh, and we loved the M1s ! ! !

Why napkins?

It's cool when there's an overhead wire and a third rail at the same tracks

Just to let you know this was uploaded on my birthday.

They are some old and beautiful and cool trains

Those Amtraks took some nice hops coming over the track there, looks like they could use some help but I'm sure there isn't anyway to take the line out of service for work without major disruptions

I remember in the early 1950s my parents took a double decker from the Jamaica LIRR Station to Penn Station NEW YORK CITY

That third rail is really closed to the street

Another good one!

And no less, that was Acela power car #2000 - the first!

Another great video! Your horn comparisons are priceless! Love the “behind the scenes” elements, seeing the equpment moves into & out of the yard.

Damn shame not many freight customers left there

Great job I sort of miss New York City looking at this video

Thank you my friend for this, loved this video!

Awesome content sir!!!

I ride the 7 daily. That view at Hunterspoint is always fun. You never know what will be passing thru. But it’s just a short glimpse as the 7 dives into the tunnel or climbs East towards Queensborough Plaza. This is a much better, longer up close view. That blue & silver building in the background is the Arch St facility of LIRR. Many M9s are parked there. For a long while some ancient looking M3s or M1s?? were parked there but are long gone. Thanks for the view & from a different angle than I’m used to.

That must have been a bear of a cricket!

great vid!

Wonderful action

Excellent!

That pt. Jeff train was that going toward the lower Montauk towards Richmond hill??

why are EMUs single level, and diesel trains are double decker?

Can’t tell you how many times I got stuck at that Borden av crossing behind a train lol

Weird horn on 407

They seem to blow horns correctly at L.I.C.. I was just thinking, if it's available, you probably have a ticket for the first train in Grand Central Terminal already. Will it come from Jamaica into the city or what? Maybe the city to Montauk. Some time could you trace ( slowly ) on a map how the Amtrak trains get into Queens and over to Penn Station? Also show use on a map the entire LIRR ? I grew up in Queens on Metropolitan Ave. and Wood Haven Blvd. We had two lines running there. One parallel to wood Haven Blvd. and I assume was the line that went to Rockaway. The other ran perpendicular to Wood Haven ( actually under it) to Jamaica and was freight all the time I lived there but went toward Brooklyn the other way. I'd like to see where that went.

lol they are not selling lirr tickets from GCT yet

Somrthing alittle different from the Hoseycam. Nice change of venue.

Where does metro north's New haven line and Amtrak's NEC line join into the same route ? Are there tunnels from hunters point into grand central station ? Like the large variety of trains here.

CP 216 in New Rochelle is where the Amtrak Hell Gate line meets the New Haven line.

Why Doesn’t The Diesel Branches Serve Long Island City All Day Including Afternoon Evening And Weekends Instead Of Jamaica

Got caught behind trains many times on Borden av lol
