I lived in the blue house on the far right at 1:02:20 from when I was born until I was 12, then moved to Deer Park, although I lived with my Dad to stay in the same school district till I graduated. I can't believe how much has changed!
For anyone wondering what is past Babylon: Obviously the electrified yard that is made up of nearly two dozen tracks for electrified cars. Diesel trains continue Eastward, usually terminating at Patchogue, Speonk, or Montauk. Sixteen stations occupy diesel territory, going from West to East from Babylon:
I really enjoyed the first 10 minutes. Penn Station is my second home Those tunnels are my office I have actually walked from Long Island City to Penn Station on that benchwall. And the first stop Woodside with the 7 subway train above is my stop I live around the block from there. Very cool to see it from this view. I've taken the train to Babylon, Ronkonkoma, and the Greenport branch to Riverhead. Love the LIRR.
Just short of Wantagh station you see a sign ( on right side) for “Brands”- which is a bicycle store that’s been there since I ws a child in early 1960’s.
Always liked the single unit rotary style camshaft master controller on the m1/m3 , wish they'd bring them back. NYCTA rolling stock now has the T-handle twist and pivot units. Imho, not visually cool. The pre-goh twist and SLIDE stainless steel, anvil shaped master controllers on the NYCTA r44 and r46 looked really nice.. Straight out of "Logans Run " or "THX-1138." Just my $.02 .. Whaddaya think?
