I think that everyone who has ever taken a train on Long Island would agree that a lot of thoughts go through your head throughout your time traveling on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). Anyone who considers themselves a frequent rider has at least one absolutely wild Long Island Rail Road story. Here are a few thoughts that usually accompany you on the average ride on the LIRR.
1. I hope I'm not late for my train.
2. Wow, the train is so late.
3. Is this train even coming?
4. What time is the train supposed to get here?
5. Did the MTA cancel my train?
6 Finally! The train is here.
7. If I'm late I'm suing.
8. Yikes, it looks crowded in there.
9. I will kill someone with my bare hands for a seat.
10. Oh no, there are absolutely no seats.
11. I guess I'll just have to sit next to someone.
12. I really don't want to talk to anyone.
13. Do I really want to sit next to someone?
14. Oh well, I guess I'll just stand.
15. Wow, my feet hurt.
16. Um, why are we stopping?
17. Oh no, the train's broken...
18. I'm never getting to Penn Station
19. I hope they don't collect tickets today
20. Conductor: "All tickets please!"
21. Never mind...
22. I wonder if they ever try to punch holes in the tickets like Tom Hanks in "The Polar Express."
23. Why'd the conductor give me my ticket back?
24. Oh no. Do I have to transfer at Jamaica?
25. Help, I have no idea what I'm doing.
26. SOS!
27. Oh wait, I bought a round trip.
28. Wow, I played myself.
29. Are we there yet?
30. Wow, the skyline looks cool.
31. Here comes the tunnel.
32. Ouch, my ears hurt.
33. *Pretends to chew gum*
34. That’s better.
35. Finally, we’re here.
36. I hope the ride home is better.
37. Okay, so when the track number comes up, I’ll make a break for it.
38. I’m ready
39. There it is! Track 19! GO GO GO!
40. I hope I don’t fall down the stairs.
41. Open the train doors already!
42. I got a seat! Now I can relax
43. I hope no one sits next to me.
44. Don’t do it.
45. Ugh, I thought I would have a seat all by myself.
46. Oh well, I’ll just put my headphones in and hope that no one talks to me
47. Please stp talking to me. I have my headphones in.
