FamousNYLover Posted August 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2009 I have taken LIRR before but I forgot what stations that require to change cars? Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted August 26, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2009 Yuki, if you're asking what I think you're asking: Jamaica is a major transfer station on the L.I.R.R.. Huntington, Ronkonkama and Babylon see a change to diesels for the runs to Port Jefferson, Greenport and Montauk. Pinelawn is a short length L.I.R.R. station and not all cars open their doors. I believe Woodside and Hicksville also are transfer stations on the L.I.R.R.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
via White Plains Road Posted August 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 26, 2009 I believe Woodside and Hicksville also are transfer stations on the L.I.R.R.. You are correct....Woodside you can transfer for the and train to Port Washington or any Port Washington Branch stations! Hicksville you can also transfer for the train to Port Jefferson!

FamousNYLover Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted August 26, 2009 I mean like at 145th St, and some stations in Staten Island Railway. Certain train stations only accept limited train car because of short station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pu3rToRoCk8947 Posted August 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 26, 2009 Hollis Station on the Hempstead Branch Glen Street Station Oyster Bay Branch Kew Gardens Station,Forest Hills Station can platform 4 car MU trains and Oyster Bay Branch stations with the exception of Glen Street Station,can hold 4 car length C3 Bi-Level diesel trains any of the stations on the Montauk Branch,passed Babylon and Bayshore Stations which can platform 12 cars,are 4 to 6 cars long I believe stations passed Ronkonkoma Station are short,not too sure Port Jefferson stations passed Huntington Station are short as well usually on Montauk,Oyster Bay and Port Jefferson trains one has to walk up to the front cars to get off at the above mentioned stations if sitting on the last few cars hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Woodside and Hicksville also are transfer stations on the L.I.R.R.. Yes Woodside Station LIRR is a last transfer point for Port Washington Branch trains and a transfer to the 61 Street-Woodside Station(7) IRT subway,not a free transfer i believe,can anyone confirm this? Hicksville is a terminal station for some MU trains with a connection to a Port Jefferson diesel train other times at Huntington Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted August 27, 2009 Share #12 Posted August 27, 2009 I'm pretty sure that Jamaica can only platform 10 cars, because I've had to go to Pinelawn (which only platforms the last two cars) and the last half of the last car on 12 car trains would never make it in.

Far Rock Depot Posted August 27, 2009 Share #13 Posted August 27, 2009 Inwood on the Far Rock branch only platforms 4 cars. its 6 car marker NY bound is beyond the platform. only the southernmost cars platform in both directions due to a grade crossing at Dougherty Blvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt91 Posted August 28, 2009 Share #16 Posted August 28, 2009 Port Jefferson stations passed Huntington Station are short as well All Port Jeff stations are 12 cars except: •Cold Spring Harbor and Greenlawn's south platforms are 8 cars and Greenlawns is unused •Port Jeff is 10 cars usually, despite adequate platform length, 4-6car trains are run (except for DM trains, which run 8-10 cars), requiring passengers changing at Jamaica, Hicksville, or Huntington to walk forward because of this. Personally, this is my biggest pet peeve of riding the Lirr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
