Riding in a Cab of a LIRR DE30AC locomotive as this Montauk Bound train is passing from Brightwaters, through just east of Islip Station. This locomotive is also sporting the newer K5LA horn.
On April 12, 2008 I was at the NYCT's Subway Car Rodeo at Coney Island. I took this video riding one of South Brooklyn Railways Locomotives in the cab as we rode around the loop of the yard. This excursion consisted of SBK's N1, a former work car converted from a school bus, and welded into a flat car, and SBK's N2.
Another R160 set this time leaving Coney Island and going Manhattan Bound this time with working announcements. The Train Operator (engineer) showed the conductor (C/R) who wasn't qualified on this set on how to program the announcements properly. Kudos to the T/O
We approach 36th St., and the switches from the leads from the West End Line (D) and then run express from 36th St., to Atlantic/Pacific. These babies run so so smooth with the ride quality. As far as the looks inside, I feel that even though I may be a fan of the R68, these cars are much better to the look of the eye inside.
We finally arrive at 57th Street and 7th Avenue for the transfer to the Q, and we hear the Alstrom Onyx Propulsion of this train leaving. Does anybody know in the train what stop we are at?
Trip continues seeing me with the railfan window reflection stopping at Lexington Ave., and 5th Ave., and again messed up announcements as the C/R attempts to fix the problem to no avail. Even when he tried to do the announcements the speakers weren't working. Look at my reaction when the continuous mess ups of announcements took place.
Leaving Stillwell Avenue, I took a video from Stillwell to Avenue U on my way to Pacific Street Station. Please pardon for the beginning as it was too bright to see out as the sun glare came into play.
I took a video using my new Canon ZR-800 camcorder of train 666 arriving, and leaving St. James, NY Station. This set was unusual to which usually has a DE30AC on one end, and a cab car on the other end to which this one had an engine on each end.
