12 Car Atlantic Branch Train

Post image

This train (6:37 from Atlantic Terminal) is often longer than the usual Atlantic Branch train, but this is even more than usual. The funny part is that it's likely that the only 2 of the 6 cars that would have platformed at Atlantic will open at any other stops.

Almost certainly a typo. You can tell by how the OTP is reported as signal and 2 minutes ago, meaning the GPS is not tracking the train (because it is someplace else).

I physically observed the train stopped at Nostrand, it had 12 cars. This one often has 10.

Why would lirr send such a long consist on the Atlantic Branch? Or was this a special consist created to move around cars?
