ABANDONED LIRR TRAIN AND TRACKS!!!

The Montauk Cutoff was a rail line in Long Island City, Queens, that was built in the 1900s for the purpose of connecting the LIRR Montauk Branch to Sunnyside Yard. Trains would be pulled in and out of Sunnyside Yard as well as freight cars and locomotives alone. By the 1970s, freight traffic slowed down and the line became seldom used. It was officially decommissioned by the MTA in 2015, and its future remains uncertain. Plans have been created to turn the rail embankment into an elevated public park, similar to the Highline in Manhattan, although nothing is official... Looking at the tremendous increase in residential development in Long Island City recently, it wouldn't be surprising if those plans come tp fruition.

Liked this too. I've hiked the 12-mile abandoned LIRR grade, now a trail, stretching from Port Jefferson to Wading River. No tracks, but you can imagine how it was before service was stopped in 1938.

@Vxllain 4 года назад

Btw, the abandoned LIRR train model is either tha m1 or tha m3 those trains are from the 70s and 80s

@DTD110865 4 года назад

I still remember the M1's, and I was 3 years old when the LIRR started running them. However, I never knew about them until the 1970's.

That is a scrapped M3 LIRR train that you saw. It was there for a while. So sad that it is in such bad condition. People really could restore it and make a better use of it.

@urbannyc935 4 года назад

yes sir. They moved it around a few times but other than that its gonna stay heavily vandalized for a while until scrapping.

@@urbannyc935 You should travel to the Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach branch next. You should check out the Woodhaven Junction station that used to connect the Atlantic Beach via a viaduct.

You must be talking about the rockaway beach branch. It has become abandoned ever since it closed down. Its still stands to this day actually and you can access it really easily though its a bit overgrown. However as of last year there has been plans about reactivating the line again for the LIRR or the subway!

Some of what you're seeing here is part of the Lower Montauk Branch that starts at Jamaica and ends at Long Island City (the bridge is part of the Lower Montauk Branch in Long Island City). Passenger service ended years ago but it's now used for freight service by the New York & Atlantic Railway.

@sacandagaguy2646 2 года назад

I grew up In the Richmond hill Ozone park area of queens, there was an abandoned elevated line that crossed 101st Ave, then went under the liberty ave, A train line. there was even a huge signal bridge near 101st Ave, that had remained lit even though it was long out of service. I see on google this is still there today. Was this the Howard beach branch or Rockaway?

@paulpatalano6832 2 года назад

I grew up in that neighborhood, near Liberty Avenue and have been up on that structure many times. Today it is not easy at all to access and much of the property has been claimed by private businesses and secured for their own use. Not much to pick up there anymore. Not much to see.

@sacandagaguy2646 2 года назад

@@paulpatalano6832 That was a great area to grow up in back in the day, I was on 109 St. one block off Liberty. Never got to see the abandoned elevated line from up top but I always noticed the lit signal bridge at 101st Ave. Some people said there was a bridge that burned over Jamaica bay and that took that line out of service.
