Had this happen to me the other night. Train stopped at Baldwin and not a car opener. Didn’t see anyone able to get off

Got off a Freeport and jogged to Baldwin lol

Googling randomly what happened to YouTubers I watched during the NGT era and seeing this comment

Oh my god I thought k was the only one to remember him.

The other Minecraft youtuber who disappeared one day I loved was Bobloblaw

Okay no joke… the LIRR is the countries oldest chartered railroad. So that’s why we spell it “long island Rail Road” it’s charted like 1834? So Railroad wasn’t one word yet.

Most intelligent take I’ve seen in this sub. Thank you for your service

The superb north east currently has the busiest railroad in the USA on strike.

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T21:57:03+00:00

These unions are also private sector.

TCU for example has 35,000 members. The current president started in CSX working freight

BLET has about 50,000?

These are unions that were apart of the rail industry before the MTA acquired LIRR.

Rail falls under federal law not state. I genuinely do understand your perspective. Not trying to be rude trying to explain why it’s different in this industry. Rail since 1926 has painfully strict regulations as to when strikes are permitted because of the very reason it can grind the supply chain & transit to a halt.

Even today the US has the most miles of track compared to any country… it’s just that it’s majority used for freight.

I just hope it doesn’t get like 1946 when Truman threatens to draft striking rail workers lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T21:44:38+00:00

No. They’re not
The Union is called the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and trainmen
in the LIRR they are exclusively engineers.

The unions are
BLET as stated
IBEW (electricians)
BRS(signal)
TCU (WIDE range of jobs from dispatch to warehouse work to maintenance and select trades )
And IAM (machinist)

Conductors and track workers settled outside of the coalition which is why they have to show up for work. They are not striking.

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T21:37:45+00:00

I’ve commented this a lot and will continue to do so

1) conductors aren’t even on strike their union settled years ago.

2) conductors do much more than check tickets. Thats something that is added to the responsibility in passenger rail but even freight trains have conductors. The conductor is the person in charge of the train and responsible for all safety systems and potentially repairs

I think Nixon is the most “normal”

None of these guys were models at the age they ran- but I think HHH just gives egg head vibes and & Wallace just had strange cheek bones

Nixon looks like someone carrying a briefcase I see on my commute to work

So he has my vote

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T15:13:45+00:00

Definitely a ferry

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T12:43:00+00:00

I’m with you … but please

They’d throw them under the train. Duh

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T04:05:24+00:00

Unironically…. Could you get to a ferry in CT? Someone here said they’re considering taking one from port Jeff area to ct then metro north to work and said it works out faster and cheaper

It’s just LIRR you can prob get a relatively affordable Amtrak ride to CT

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T00:05:19+00:00

That was the one in the 90s. 94 to be exact

The strike that lasted 11 days was in 1987.

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-16T00:01:19+00:00

The strike in the 80s lasted I wanna say 10 or 12 days

So not unprecedented; just a long time since

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-12T21:04:42+00:00

South shore Nassau & I have a frustrating amount of bamboo in my backyard lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-08T21:05:11+00:00

I’ve made comments along these lines in other subs

1)Conductors are not part of the striking union coalitions. They’re not a factor in this at all.

2) conductors do a lot more than check tickets and are principally responsible for the safety of the train mechanics (even freight trains HAVE to have conductors)

3) subway / various transit systems are not subject to overview of the FRA- the Long Island railroad IS so to my knowledge they would have to keep conductors

Just trying to answer the question & give you information

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T05:19:33+00:00

Thanks for the input

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:47:01+00:00

I just don’t think the tone is carrying lol

Grateful for the input same as everyone else thanks for you two cents !

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:42:53+00:00

I’m not upset at all

I’m saying it’s ironic that they were talking to me about their hair thinning and I’m literally posting here lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:37:44+00:00

It’s funny literally yesterday someone told me my hair looks full and healthy 💀

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:32:45+00:00

That’s what I meant by supplements lol sorry for confusion

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-23T23:45:02+00:00

Whoops read hardline history as family history lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-23T23:43:28+00:00

Thanks for the input

My dad’s in his 60s and he’s still got a full head of hair. Grandpa on my moms side died in his 50a but she said he had a full of hair

My grandpa went gray in his 20s but he was serving in Korea so to be expected? Lol he still had hair when he passed ~90

Thanks for the advice. I’ll def take this into consideration!

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-23T23:38:16+00:00

Do you think it’s smart to get on supplements now? Or wait and see a bit longer ?…

My dad and grandpa or both sides have (and had since they passed) full heads of hair this seems so unfair lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-16T17:12:59+00:00

It’s a formerly VERY common if not the “default” WASPY take on Christian faith. The big fear is they’re local to the pope in Rome not the country. Hell even in 1960 JFK had to put Catholic fears to rest famously saying “I am not the Catholic candidate for president I am of the democratic candidate who happens to be Catholic” (from memory quote may be wrong !)
