Arrived now for Long Island Rail Road in Train Simulator Classic, the iconic M3 is ready for operation. A Long Island legend arrives into Train Simulator Classic in the form of the iconic LIRR M3, operate this memorable EMU out of New York and Atlantic Terminal into dense commuter suburbs! During the late 1960s and early 1970s in a major fleet renewal program, New York’s Long Island Rail Road, with funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, purchased 770 M1 EMUs constructed by Budd and General Electric. Christened Metropolitans, the M1s immediately became the workhorses of LIRR electric operations. With its business expanding and its electrified trackage being extended, in 1984-1986, LIRR and MTA returned to Budd to acquire 174 similar M3 EMUs. LIRR’s M3 cars stretch 85-feet in length and are constructed of stainless steel. The cars operate on D. C. current from LIRR’s third-rail system and are powered by four 160-horsepower traction motors riding in General Steel GSI trucks. The versatile EMUs, built in two-car “married pairs,” operate at speeds up to 80 mph (129 km/h) on the LIRR. Dressed in yellow, gray, and silver, the LIRR M3 and M1 EMUs have become railroading classics and while the M1s were retired in 2007, the LIRR M3s soldier on. Experience the challenges of operating this classic equipment on Long Island Rail Road: New York – Hicksville. Available now on the Steam Store.
