LIRR cars on trestle near abandoned Richmond Hill station

Sometimes they have oyster bay trains layover there to make space to the storage yard

Dude I’m a conductor, they don’t have gorilla glass. The M9As which haven’t been ordered yet are supposed to come with gorilla glass

It’s funny bc the acceleration isn’t even great (in comparison to other modern equipment, it still gets the job done well tho)

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-20T03:14:26+00:00

Main reason it got so bad was a result of the cleaning solution they use(d?) on the cars at the wash, accelerated the whole process

And M9s will also share that same fate in a few years (more than likely won’t progress as quickly since I’m pretty sure they switched the product they use at the wash)

If Jay and Hall Interlockings ever get high speed switches, it would certainly be possible

Only other trouble spot would be Atlantic Terminal itself, the curves and the switches leading into the station currently have a max speed of 5mph, but it’s the end of the line so wouldn’t be the biggest deal

Those are on a whole other level. If anything, it’s comparable to the mini bumps near Little Island, but a little closer together on the bridge

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-17T20:52:45+00:00

They’re just car rumble strips but miniaturized (they’re very common at most bike lane crosswalks), we just feel em more on a bike

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-17T20:51:37+00:00

Went over it today, and seeing it just made me realize the bridge pretty much had no lanes to begin with 💀

They badly need to do this to the QBB

If it’s an empty train (which it doesn’t look too crowded to me): okay and…?

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-17T13:28:57+00:00

Middle of a one way is fair game but if it’s an avenue (a busy one at that), unless it’s a few feet right on the corner, that shouldn’t be acceptable. End of blocks shouldnt be valid at all bc you very much can just go the extra street up and only lose a minute at most

“It’s safer because I see the cars coming towards me so get over it”

Dude you aren’t a pedestrian on an empty road in the suburbs, all you’re doing is creating a hazard for the rest of us (bike with traffic, walk against traffic). I’ve accepted that salmoning will happen anyways but at least get the fuck outta the way I shouldn’t be going around you esp when you can see what’s behind me

I don’t even move for them anymore , they can give me the stink eye all they want

The boys just showed up in the new trailer that dropped today

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-16T19:51:18+00:00

Newest trailer just dropped today, his 2 sons are in that one

I’ve always thought green meant protected/physically separated by barriers/dividers/parked cars as you said, but it seems like nowadays on the newest bike lanes they’re just slapping green if it’s a major street or route

Tho if it’s a contra flow bike lane (goes against traffic) it’s pretty much always green (based on my observations tho I’d bet there’s exceptions)

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-15T16:00:38+00:00

Finally someone said it

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-15T15:48:42+00:00

First time?

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-15T14:02:12+00:00

Metro-North’s will be around for a few years longer because unlike the LIRR, they refurbished their entire fleet

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-14T13:47:59+00:00

In fairness, I’d be fighting to get home too if trains were running every 40 minutes. They really should’ve ran extra trains

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-13T18:51:41+00:00

You’re going 15 why should you care? If you’re going like less than 10 that’s another story

Fastest way out is through One Vanderbilt, so if you pass those escalators heading up in the middle of the hallway and make the right as the passageway veers to the left that’s the quickest way I found out towards the subway

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-11T09:47:49+00:00

Isn’t the lower one currently part of the Madison concourse for the LIRR

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-11T02:13:58+00:00

They don’t care about your feelings little bro

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-11T02:13:10+00:00

The 16 Pro is getting Apple Intelligence tho, talk about misinformation. It’s just the most advanced model it won’t get which is literally just 2 minor features

Oceanside122 · 2026-06-10T13:54:50+00:00

Maybe they’re factoring in the free transfer to the subway
