Kew Gardens, where I grew up Kew Gardens and Forest Hills were my old haunts back in the 70-80s. Great places to grow up in back then. Watched so many movies at the Midway and The Continental. Great times. I wish I could go back to that time to finish out my life. A much better time overall in America. Really smooth and quiet train. They should add more stops in Queens and Brooklyn, after all the the routes are already there. Wouldnt be hard to do and would take some load off of the regular city subway.

This was cool. Since Manhattan is basically an island, doesn't the train have to cross the water at some point to get into Manhattan in order to get to Penn Station? Does that long tunnel go under the water? Or did this train originate somewhere already on the island? I'm from Texas, so I have no clue. Isn't Penn station basically below Madison Square Garden?

Last time I rode these trains was almost 20 years ago. Much has changed. Hard to believe you come into those stations and there isn't a single piece of trash on the rails. It sucks that so much has been modernized with the concrete ties and everything. Still pretty fun ride and at least not much has changed in the tunnels.

I use to go out to Freeport by taking the E train to Jamaica then the N4 bus to the last stop. I no longer have the patients for all the noise and weird crap that goes with local transportation. I simply take the LIRR from Penn Station and its faster and more peaceful. Its worth the extra fare. Im too old for the madness

Great video, especially the views of the New York City skyscrapers. I flew into JFK in July 2018 and decided to take public transport into the City. My LIRR train trundled along the line and only made a stop at Woodside. I'm back in the City in July this year and will be taking the LIRR again.

While China is developing light rail and high speed rail using 21st. Century technology, the New York City MTA is stuck in the 20th. century. Wooden railroad ties are like dinosaurs combined with the crumbling infrastructure alongside the rail lines, this could pass for Russia.

Another excellent video in your outstanding series of documenting M3 cab views before they are all retired. Especially interesting on this one is to see all the changes that are being incorporated with Harold Interlocking in preparing for East Side Access.

Spotted our old apartment on Burns St at 5: 04. That first morning the first diesel from the East End woke me up about 7. You could hear it coming for 5 miles. sounded like it was coming right through the bedroom. By the second morning I slept right through it.

Nice work, man. Always a trip riding the old iron horse (yeah, I'm still a bit caught-up in early/mid-90's NYC) through the great borough of QU. NOW. this whole East Side piece Wow, man. And just think, West Side (Penn) Access? Lol. That's our city

Grew up in NYC, back in the days of Dimaggio, Berra, Mantle, Mays, Snider, etc. Left in 1950 and never went back. What a depressing looking right of way, unkept apartment dwellings, trash everywhere, etc, etc. And then there's your politicians. .. .
