I really love your old LIRR videos. This is the LIRR I grew up with.

Great video, that must have been a giant camcorder back in 1986.

Same here, back when locomotives were locomotives.

I remember seeing these as a kid growing up in Bellport in the 90s, time sure flys

Nothing like the sound of that GP38's get up and go as it pulls out of Patchogue Station.

When you are knee-high to a grasshopper and you’re standing on a ground level platform, you can’t help but be in awe!😃😲👍

20:16 Hoo boy, that car tire screech! 😂

These videos you took are excellent!!! Thanks for sharing them. :)

For a second I thought I was looking at the long hood of one of the GP38's before I realized was a high nose C-420.

My god my home station Patchogue, I miss PD tower the leaning tower of the east.

Great video. It brings back memories of riding the LIRR to Patchogue during the early to mid ‘80s. I had friends in Bellport I visited on weekends. I loved the power, but the coaches left much to be desired.

Great vintage!

Loved this video. I grew up in E. North Port and moved out in '86 at the age of 22. Watching this brought back a lot of great memories of my childhood.

@@Obrien975 yeah man. I was like 17at the time. Picked up Triano hitching on 25A from KP to Northport. He didn't talk much, but I already knew they were heavily into dust. So I was like....ugh why did I pick this dude up. The whole thing in the woods was about money. Felt bad for that kid. Just hanging with the wrong crowd.

Absolutely fantastic, thanks as always for taking the time to upload. Rare to see footage (or even photos) at the Suffolk Matls siding. The Smithtown stuff is always a treat.

6:17 I never saw the two diesels like this before, the SD 60 Diesel Locomotive first, and the FL9 Diesel Locomotive second!!!!

I would get so excited when I was growing up to get a glimpse of the diesel engines at Jamaica. The trains now are all boring although the M9s are kind of sharp.

I'd love to find some surviving FA-2's. Some surviving EMD SW1001s wouldn't be so bad either.

Nice video

Remember the bar car

If I'm Correct Out Of All The 38s 261 & Maybe 271 Are The Only Ones Still Here

At 7:00 the last Parlor Car has a marker light out.

This video is great. Did you live in Patchouge? For us at the time, that was the nearest town that had a lot more than we had. I remember "Wahlum" chinese restaurant. I lived in Center Moriches in the 70's on Chichester Ave . about 5 houses east from the Grade Crossing. We ran up there many times to see the trains. I also remember The C420's when they were painted the Orange and Gray. Thanks for sharing these great days.

How cool the first patchogue shot signal looks like it's still got an old wishbone gate at the time?
