After leaving Montauk, the line goes through Hither Hills State Pak, then along Napeague Beach next to NY 27. As it reaches Amagansett, it goes upgrade into the station, leaving the beach area, though it will roll past numerous bays and inlets as it makes its way west. |

Triple header |
| Description: |
Sometimes trains would take extra power or passenger equipment to outlying terminals, rather than run an equipment train. Most of the time it was a single unit or extra coaches. Tonights Ronkonkoma train has three GP 38s leading, something I saw only rarely on the Island. 269 and 271 trail an unidentified leader. |
