- I'm sorry that I did't get this out in time for Christmas, iMovie was giving me trouble again. As this is the last video I will upload for 2020, I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and thank you all for 200 subscribers! This episode of EOLI covers the Long Island Railroad's most successful and numerous locos- the ALCo RS-1, RS-2, RS-3, S-1 and S-2.
I just stumbled on your channel. wow. this brought back a lot of memories for me as a young kid who lived across from the Hollis station, and freight yards back in the 1960's. RS3 had that unique sound as it was in idle. And it would shake the ground as 2 or 3 of them were lashed up in MU to pull heavy freight. or passenger service pulling the heavy 12 and sometime 14 Pullman parlor cars out of track 8 in Jamaica during rush hour. I don't remember the Date, but it was on an early Summer Sunday walking to church. I heard that sound of CHUFF chuff chuff. Yes I saw a G5 East bound 8 cars. Steam my first ever on the LIRR. later that day I did not see but i could hear that sound of a steam loco west bound. Thank you for the peak back in time.
I saw 167 couple of weeks ago. It's been put back into passenger service with the Grand central opening.
AMAZING VIDEO!!! You earned yourself a sub!!
Do the later alco’s. One of the former Long Island railroads Alco C420 locomotives now runs on a short line right behind my house. Also, great video!
What line?
Nicely done!Grew up with them right here in Suffolk County ,NY.Hated to see them go.
I've seen 407 a few times passing through Phoenica, but I never knew her history until now. Thanks for this video! ^^
The cannaonball still runs today
By the end of the Second World War, the downturn in the railroad industry and dwindling profits caused the bankrupt LIRR to go into receivership in 1949. In 1966, New York State bought the railroad's controlling stock from the PRR and put it under the newly formed Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (renamed Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968)
What a out the C420 s the best locos long Island had
Nice
Outstanding episode as always!
Wow this video was amazing! Great work!
Yay. Another episode!
Great video, can’t wait to see more. By the way, Decatur, Illinois is pronounced “da-kate-er”.
Awesome!
FINALLY
Love the video, but have a problem with the sound. Maybe it's me.
Where's the 417, I would like to take a visit sometime. Also great video!
Not too sure, its somewhere in Colonie, NY
2:50 those are all RS2Ms, also the cab car is a Nathan K13B.
They also had K13As and K13Cs
Where are the Alco C-420's?
I assume the Centuries will get their own episode?
yes
What about the 420s?
czcams.com/video/Mc2-GObmqNk/video.html around the 10 minute mark or so, you can hear the horn of an RS-3
0:58 Anybody know which station this is?
ha
C420 a were used the longest on LIRR
How long where they used?
I worked for the rail road . I retired in 2007 and they still had some . After 76 they were used in freight. GP 38 started in 76 with bicentennial paint scheme . The C420s went to freight service until Atlantic Freight took over the freight part of LIRR.
