How Much Luggage on the LIRR ?
LumberJack asked:
I am going to be traveling to Long Island from JFK and I was wondering how much luggage I can bring with me on the train. I am planning to bring one huge 49″ luggage and a small 24″ one, do they have luggage racks big enough for anything this big and how busy does the train get to LI on a Friday afternoon? Thanks
Thanks everyone for your help!!

It’ll be tight and the trains are really crammed on Friday afternoons.
The trains are packed on Friday afternoon. There might not be room to bring that much luggage on the train but that depends on which line you are taking.
If you are on the Montauk, Ronkonkoma or Babylon lines then it is almost certain the train will be SRO on Friday afternoon.
