PATCHOGUE, NY — Most Long Islanders have grow accustomed to the Long Island Rail Road and its typically mundane announcements. However, one conductor recently decided to turn the mundane messages into an entertaining ride for all.

Around 5:30 p.m. Feb. 8, Bridget Steckis was on the train that left Patchogue bound for New York City. Steckis quickly learned she and her friends were not on a "typical train" and decided to take a short video before the last stop to Jamaica.

The conductor had everyone laughing with his enthusiastic and high energy announcements. Rather than just informing passengers of the transfer at Jamaica and to watch for the gap, he pumped up the crowd with his hilarious message, finishing off with a loud "oh yea brother!"
