4th of July weekend Monster Montauk Branch trains. Never seen so many long diesel trains. 7/2-7/5

Record breaking Speonk train car consists. Numerous 8 car plus Montauk trains. I’ve never seen so many lengthy consists even way back before the pandemic. People wanted to more than make up for last summers’ nightmare and flood the east end. The trains were jammed. I hear 2798 unloaded 1000 passengers at Montauk last Friday. It’s great to see the Montauk trains back with a vengeance!!!!!! (At 25:34 you see 8709 leaving East Hampton on 7/5 with spaghetti and meatballs. That was shot by Joe Stroppel. Accidentally put on this video but it pertains to the subject matter. Spaghetti and Meatballs engineer appears several times in this video.
