Great video! Thanks for sharing, Bobby O
Did anyone note the orange radio active port-a-potty behind the Nassau Tower? From experience, the west bound trains are about 98% full of passengers when the trains headed for New York City stop at Mineola.
Interesting. The old power house in the background has since been demolished and I'm sure that Nassau Tower is next. They need to make room for the 3rd track along the ROW.
As of today the Willis Ave crossing is nearing completion. Main Street has been closed permanently and the street in front of Davenport Press (great restaurant BTW), will be one way northbound.

Here's Willis Ave recently (looking south) The main line is at the top, Oyster Bay is the curved track. The main line was the last of 7 grade crossings that were converted to overpasses of the 8 total crossings that were eliminated by this project.
Here's another video of the LIRR that shows an AMTRAK Geometry Car on the line.
