I was watching a YouTube video the other day with the cameraman riding aboard the new M9 on an Eastbound revenue run to Babylon. The train was 10 cars (which is the length of the station) long, but the conductor on the intercom stated, "The two rear cars will not platform." Usually at Amityville if you are on a 12-car train the conductor will note on the intercom will say, "Front two cars will not platform." When the train pulled into the station the Westernmost staircase was closed off, scaffolding was erected where the signal hut and canopy support are located, and fencing with sand-filled jersey barriers were placed near the stair/escalator combination. Anyone know of what they are doing?
This is the train to (NYC). Stopping at: Babylon, Lindenhurst, Copiague, Amityville, Massapequa Park, Massapequa, Seaford, Wantagh, Bellmore, Merrick, Freeport, Baldwin, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, Valley Stream, Jamaica, Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, Woodside, Penn Station OR Grand Central.
