Cars & Transportation: Rail: “Question: Question about LIRR tickets?” plus 3 more


Question: Question about LIRR tickets?

Question about LIRR tickets?

I'm going to school in the city and I take the train in Fare Zone 7 at Westbury to Penn Station. For my orientation week I'm going to be buying a weekly ticket. This is also the same week I'll be visiting people in Fare Zone 10 towards Port Jefferson.
If I were to buy a ticket that goes from Zone 10 to 1, would I be able to access all 3 points with this one weekly ticket?

Question: Anyone know where i can find anything.like blueprints or anything on restoreing a 20s railroad baggage wagon?

Here is a picture plus an article on restoration:

Baggage wagons are pretty simple things. But you do need to do research on the railroad you will be restoring it for to get authentic colors.

Question: I hear a train horn but I'm no way close to any trains.?

Active track? Train hornd sound where the train is. Most likely near an industrial area. It could also be an industry horn if it is at the same time everyday.

You say 65 miles to an active track. How Far to ANY track. The train may just go to the industrial area/warehouse,factory or whatever to pick up and drop off cars at night.
People do have things that sound like a trian horn on their personal vehicles.

If it is from some factory hope they never get to gether with others nearby and give you a night time symphony something like this.

Go to about 9 minutes it gets better when they get it all in tune.
