  • We capture LIRR action on the busy Montauk Branch on the 4th of July weekend. We were trackside east of Babylon on 7/3, 7/5, 7/6, and 7/7. (I was busy on 7/4) We covered areas between Bay Shore and Eastport. The horn action and quality on this busy weekend was superb. The trains were long and frequent. The K5LLA horns were well represented as well as some of the best K5LA horns associated with engines #405 and #518. Many K5L’s and K5LL’s are heard too. With a few exceptions, it was one of the most rewarding audible experiences I’ve ever had.

    Why did train #45 from Speonk to Jamaica have a C3 with that horn? Sounded really good!

      It was unusually good wasn’t it??😁😁😁😁. I felt like fooling around on that shot so I edited in a Caltrain.P2 horn. I think I synchronized that very well.

    How do the LIRR lights work? I'm confused by their function. They don't turn red like the original ones after the train passes. The color stays the same,

      Regardless of the signal indication, they always show those cadmium yellow colors
