The new Oyster Bay Railroad Museum M7 Simulator is an experience in which the visitor sits in the cab of a real Long Island Railroad electric M7-class multiple unit railcar, and using the controls in that cab, operates a computer train simulation game which depicts the experience a Long Island Railroad engineer would have in the real engineer's cab.  The computer simulation game is "Train Sim World 5 and LIRR Commuter" and we are grateful to its owner,  Dovetail Games, for the special permission granted the Museum in the use of same.

The experience which we now offer opens at the station platform at Hempstead, Long Island and, if taken to the end of the trip, terminates just before Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan.  The full trip takes about an hour if the visitor stops the train at each stop along the way, although Museum visitor traffic may require each person's experience to be shorter.  All use of the M7 Simulator is overseen by our Simulator Supervisor, so anyone of any age is welcome to try their hand at the experience.  For more photos and information click here

Pennsylvania Station NY City

Remember when the LIRR Concourse at Penn Station looked like this (photo right)? As warm as the station is today during the summer months, it used to be warmer! Until the entire LIRR terminal in New York was rebuilt in the mid 1990's, there was no air conditioning at all! When this photo was taken on a winter day in the mid-1980's, everybody was dressed to stay warm, and nobody was thinking about those hot summer days ahead. Photo/Archive: Jay Bendersky
