Meeting an eastbound |
| Description: |
The challenge for RF 62/63 was to get out to Riverhead, do whatever work it had to get done along the way, and get back to Pine Aire in time to beat the rush hour. They usually made it, though would start to run up against the leading edge of the rush hour parade as they got west of Ronkonkoma. Heres RF 63 meeting train 254 behind class unit 250 at Deer Park. Almost home. |

4012 again |
| Description: |
My favorite spot on a Sunday was Bellerose. The platform set between the two Hempstead Branch tracks made a perfect position for shooing Main Line action, such as this 4012 headed for Montauk. |

Doubleheader in the dark |
| Description: |
Tonights late departure for Ronkonkoma makes its Mineola stop behind a pair of GP 38s. Must have been a power swap, usually those trains only got one unit. |

North side view |
| Description: |
The area around 2nd St and Willis Av in Mineola was bounded on two sides by the LIRR Main Line and the Oyster Bay branch. The railroad used it for storage, and just about anything could turn up there. It did not make for a scenic photo, and was on the "dark side" most of the day anyway. The light wasnt too bad this day, and I caught the GP 38 class unit leading a Ronkonkoma train past Nassau Tower-seen above the next to last car of the train-on its way east. |
