Its nicknamed the "Ronkonkoma Rocket"; The reason? Only stops at Hicksville and Central Islip on its trip to KO. So its not slowing down for Farmingdale. Although that isn't the fatest possible area on the Main Line, you still shouldn't go around the gates on LI. Trains take around than a minute and a half to pass. Use your heads people! Hopefully no one was killed in this incident, and that the crew is okay.

Well there's a lot more braking than just coming into KO..unless they've figured out how to do 80 through Jamaica .
