Hi Simply Railway! As a Long Island native and railfan, I take great pride in the railroad that I classify as my favorite. With that being said, I would like to address a few things mentioned in the video. I will address them in the order mentioned. Firstly, the lack of outlets. While there are outlets on the C3s, there are very few. The reasoning behind this is that these cars were built and commissioned in the fall of '98, where mobile devices were far less common. Secondly, the feeling of being cramped. That is actually by design. The C3 was designed to provide more room for passengers at stations with smaller platforms. Because of those smaller platforms, they have to run smaller trains, but still wanted the capacity. This, we have the C3. And finally, I want to address the conductor. Knowing about her conduct is truly baffling to me, as everyone I have ever interacted with has been professional and courteous. I assure you that encounters like that are rare, though not unheard of. I also highly propose that you take one of the trains out to Montauk as the sights out there are truly stunning, and it will be well worth the fare. Thank you for reviewing the LIRR, and keep making this content.

The reason why the C3's are such a cramped bi-level coach is because of the tunnel clearances at New York Penn Station. The tunnel clearance is such that ordinary bi-levels (like the bombardier bi-level that you rode on TRE), cannot fit into Penn Station, and thus the C3's had to fit the clearance at Penn Station while still being high-capacity bi-levels.

@Simply Railway, great video. We hope that we will continue to cooperate in the future.

Fun fact: LIRR is the busiest commuter rail in the US with over 100 million people transported each year!

lmao i got told off by a driver on LIRR for filming last year; there's nothing illegal about filming trains
108 |
Out of all the people you had to meet on the railroad you met the one conductor that doesn't belong on it... You deserve better...

Correction: The C3's were Built By Kawasaki. Not Bombardier

I've had a couple of experiences of railway staff, although the other way around: One was at Antwerpen Centraal where a driver said he'd seen us previously and would love to see the photos we took (which went on Flickr at the time) and a German train driver who was interested in my taking pictures at Hamburg Hbf & was impressed with my knowledge of both German and how their rail system worked. And the Amtrak & Metra staff I encountered in Chicago were lovely; very chatty and curious as to why I was venturing into the suburbs and not staying downtown! Just a shame you got someone who wasn't like the staff I've met. Certainly a very interesting train in this video; thanks for sharing :D

You should have taken that train to the Oyster Bay station (end of the line) as it passes through some of the most scenic and exclusive areas of the Gold Coast of Long Island. The Oyster Bay station is adjoining the waterfront of Oyster Bay and Theodore Roosevelt Park, which is lovely.

Best trip is the Friday 4:19pm "Cannonball" from Penn Station to Montauk ("The End"). Mostly used be weekenders going to their holiday homes during the summer months.

As far as I know the EMD DM30AC also supports 3rd rail power. It both diesel powered and 3rd rail which is amazing.

LIRR is one of oldest railway companies of the world - founded in 1834! Pennsylvania Railroad was its owner until the sale of LIRR lines for State of New York in 1966.
The Cannonball is the longest (and only named) LIRR service: NY Penn Station to Montauk, 180 Km.

She was probably upset that youâd referred to Jamaica, Queens as being âin the Brooklyn areaâ.

Jamaica Station is in Queens not Brooklyn

Nice trip report! I'm sorry that you have to go through what the conductor did. Not everyone is a nice person in NY. You made a couple of minor mistakes with information: 1. Jamaica Station is in Queens, not Brooklyn, and 2. Taking the elevator is an option to get to the platforms but not the only option, as you can walk out of the ticketing office, walk underneath the tracks at street level and you can find your tracks from the various stairwells leading directly up to the platforms. But overall, great trip report!

As someone who was born and raised on LI and someone who travels on the LIRR frequently...man this did not put our best foot forward. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, especially with that conductor.
If you're ever in the area again, might I suggest a ride on the Montauk branch from Penn! Same loco and rolling stock but most of the line is elevated along the south shore in Nassau and you get some great views!

Guess that conductor you just encountered was in fact a âKarenâ.

Donât let that conductor fool you. There are amazing Lirr workers out there. You just have to be at the right place at the right time

Welcome to New York! That was a polite interaction on their scale!

Jamaica station is in the borough of Queens, not Brooklyn. The station is the Long Island Railroad"s major interchange between trains from Manhattan and Lon Island. "Change at Jamaica" is one of those phrases that every New Yorker is familiar with. It's almost like "Mind the Gap" in London. In fact, there was a restaurant in Glasgow called Change at Jamaica, sadly long since closed.
