Railfanning the PM rush hour at Forest Hills Station. Featuring the Cannonball and the Flying Yankee

Recorded on 8/4/23. On a beautiful summer day, I brought William down to Grand Central Terminal to show him the amazing new Madison Concourse. BJ Blue Shadow Transit also joined us for the trip as well. We headed out of Grand Central to catch some diesel trains and catch the seasonal Cannonball special. The Cannonball is a special train that brings nonstop service from New York's Pennsylvania Station all the way out to the Hamptons and Montauk and it only runs on Fridays eastbound and Sundays westbound in the Summer time (Westbound on Memorial day Monday and Labor day Monday). I finally got to see the Cannonball for the first time. The Flying Yankee comes through here giving us a great horn salute to us too! An action packed video you do not want to miss! Enjoy!
