A Long Island train from Long Beach, headed to Atlantic Terminal, approaches the Lynbrook station in Hempstead, New York, on January 25, 2017. (Lynbrook is a villiage within the city of Hempstead.) This was originally the northern terminus of the New York and Long Beach Railroad, which later became part of the Long Island. The tracks curving off to the left are the Long Island's Babylon Branch.
The nation's busiest passenger railroad depends every day on a fleet of nearly 1,000 multiple unit cars to bring hundreds of thousands of commuters to and from their jobs.
