LIRR's Lower Montauk branch

[keysersoze 0]

Has anyone of you ever ridden the Lower Montauk branch from Jamaica to LIC?

It must be a pretty interesting ride, and there's only one westbound AM rush train and one eastbound PM rush train left... I was also wondering how many cars the two trains still running via the Lower Montauk have (they are both Oyster Bay trains)...

IIRC correctly, its a 3 car Bilevel train with of course a diesel loco pulling.

It all depends. I know that the 6:22 AM from Southampton has about 5 cars plus the engine and that train goes to Hunterspoint Av. I'm not sure about the Oyster Bay Branch.
