Lol, that's good, I'm lucky if I make the first station on time. I usually run all Amtrak but I have LIRR DLC but haven't tried anything yet.
Possibly because I'm retired NYC Transit, but I have to agree that LIRR is fun! My only minor gripe is that when in proximity to Woodside station, no evidence of adjacent #7 elevated tracks. Compare to East New York, where J tracks are correctly above LIRR. Anyway, operating the M7 wide open is far more fun than crawling along in any of the B division toys. LIRR certainly more scenic than subway gray.
Not necessary if you just follow the signals. ATC on the LIRR is very good. I use it and make every stop on time, if not a minute or two early
