The '''''Cannonball''''' is a seasonal named train operated by the [[Long Island Rail Road]] between [[New York Penn Station|Penn Station]] in [[New York City]] and the [[Montauk station]] on [[Long Island]], New York. The train operates from May through October, running Fridays to Montauk and Sundays to New York.<ref name="cannonball-new">{{Cite web |date=April 18, 2013 |title=LIRR to Operate First Non-Stop Service from Manhattan to Hamptons |url=http://www.mta.info/lirr-operate-first-non-stop-service-manhattan-hamptons-0 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130423002302/http://www.mta.info/lirr-operate-first-non-stop-service-manhattan-hamptons-0 |archive-date=April 23, 2013 |access-date=April 22, 2013 |publisher=MTA Long Island Rail Road |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

The ''Cannonball'' utilizes the [[Main Line (Long Island Rail Road)|Main Line]] between Penn Station and [[Jamaica station|Jamaica]], then continues to [[Montauk station|Montauk]] either via the [[Montauk Branch]] or via the Main Line and [[Central Branch (Long Island Rail Road)|Central Branch]] to the Montauk Branch depending on the schedule. Unlike regular Montauk Branch trains, it does not make any intermediate stops between Jamaica and the Hamptons.

===Fare and ticket information===
As of April 21, 2019, an adult one-way ticket from Penn Station (Zone 1) to stations in The Hamptons (Zone 14) costs $30.50 (at the ticket machine or [[MYmta]] app) or $37.00 (if purchased on-board the train).<ref name="LIRR Fares">{{Cite web |title=New Fares — Effective April 21, 2019 |url=http://web2bw.mta.info/lirr/about/TicketInfo/Fares.htm |access-date=27 June 2021 |website=MTA.info}}</ref> Hamptons Reserve Service, which offers reserved seating and additional on-board services in the two rear cars, costs an additional $20.00.<ref name="cannonball-new"/>

===On-board services===

==History==
[[File:First run of the LIRR Cannonball.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|Inaugural westbound run of the ''Cannon Ball'' from Montauk in 1899]]

===Pre-MTA===
The ''Cannonball'', originally known as the ''Cannon Ball Express'', was inaugurated in 1899, four years after construction of the railroad to Montauk was completed.<ref name=Newsday-7-8-2001>{{cite news |last=Sen |first=Indrani |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/128632720/newsday-nassau-edition-riders-making-t/ |title=Riders Making Tracks On The Hamptons Line |date=July 8, 2001 |newspaper=Newsday |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=July 21, 2023}}</ref><ref name=MTK-Morrison>{{cite book |last=Morrison |first=David D. |date=2021 |title=Long Island Rail Road: Montauk Branch |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |isbn=9781467106900}}</ref>{{rp|110}} between [[Long Island City station|Long Island City]] and either Montauk or [[Greenport station|Greenport]]. This service pattern had the train's consist split at the now-closed [[Manorville station]]:<ref name=BDT-6-1-1930>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/128632147/times-union-summer-schedule-on-li-rail/ |title=Summer Schedule on L.I.

Under its original service pattern, the train operated eastbound on Friday and Saturday afternoons and westbound on Saturday and Monday mornings, running nonstop between [[Jamaica station|Jamaica]] and [[Speonk station|Speonk]].<ref name=BDE-10-24-1899>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/128631548/the-brooklyn-daily-eagle-last-trips-of-t/ |title=Last Trips of the Cannon Ball |date=October 24, 1899 |newspaper=The Brooklyn Daily Eagle |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=July 21, 2023}}</ref><ref name=BDE-7-6-1908>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/128631892/the-brooklyn-daily-eagle-lirr-3010/ |title=Heaviest Fourth of July Passenger Traffic This Year in the History of the Road |date=July 6, 1908 |newspaper=The Brooklyn Daily Eagle |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=July 21, 2023}}</ref>

In summer 1922, the LIRR renamed the train as the ''Sunrise Special''. Between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, service was operated eastbound from Penn Station to Montauk on Friday afternoons and westbound on Monday mornings, with bidirectional Monday–Saturday service during July and August. At this time, the train consisted entirely of [[pullman (car or coach)|pullman cars]].<ref name=MTK-Morrison/>{{rp|114}} By 1930, the name ''Cannon Ball'' was again used for the train departing late Friday afternoons and serving both Montauk and Gerenport, while the name ''Sunrise Special'' was given to a newly-inaugurated early afternoon Montauk Branch train.<ref name=BDT-6-1-1930/> Service to and from Penn Station required a change of locomotive at Jamaica.

The section to Greenport was discontinued in 1942 and the train was re-routed via the Montauk Branch when the [[Sag Harbor Branch#Manorville Branch|Manorville Branch]] closed in 1949.

Beginning in summer 1961, the western terminal of the ''Cannonball'' was changed from Jamaica to [[Hunterspoint Avenue station (LIRR)|Hunterspoint Avenue]], eliminating the need for some passengers traveling to or from Manhattan to change at Jamaica. The following year, dining cars were introduced on the train.<ref name=NYDN-6-17-1962>{{cite news |title=Living It Up On the Long Island |last=Sylvester |first=Robert |work=New York Daily News |date=June 17, 1962 |p=53 |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/459650614 |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref>

The ''Cannon Ball'' carried both standard-fare coaches and parlor cars. Historically, the train has been known for its parlor car service, and ridership on the train has been accordingly perceived as a status symbol.<ref name=Newsday-7-8-2001/>

After the MTA takeover of the LIRR, the name of the train changed to ''Cannonball''.<ref name="trainsarefun.com">{{Cite web |title=The LIRR Extra List |url=http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirrextralist/lirrextralist.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150411104421/http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirrextralist/lirrextralist.htm |archive-date=April 11, 2015 |access-date=June 24, 2021 |website=trainsarefun.com}}</ref> Parlor cars were retired in 2000 and replaced with Hamptons Reserve Service when the LIRR replaced their P72 and [[ACMU#MP75|P75]] coaches with C3s. Beginning in 2013, the western terminus of the train was changed from [[Hunterspoint Avenue]] to Penn Station, with the train utilizing [[dual-mode locomotive|dual-mode]] [[EMD DE30AC and DM30AC|DM30AC]] locomotives.<ref name="cannonball-new"/> This change also eliminated the stop at Jamaica; the ''Cannonball'' would run nonstop between Penn Station and Westhampton with a scheduled travel time of 94 minutes. MTA officials expressed that Penn Station was better equipped to handle large crowds, in contrast to Hunterspoint Avenue and Jamaica. At the same time, the MTA introduced the ''Cannonball West'', a Sunday evening train between Montauk and Penn Station that would run nonstop between Westhampton and Jamaica.<ref name=cannonball-new-newsday>{{cite news |title=LIRR: 'Cannonball' run straight from Penn to Hamptons |last=Castillo |first=Alfonso A. |date=April 18, 2013 |work=Newsday |url=https://www.newsday.com/news/lirr-cannonball-run-straight-from-penn-to-hamptons-r11055 |access-date=June 13, 2023}}</ref>
