Long hood first |
| Description: |
While LIRRs C 420s were set up to run long hood forward, the GP 38s were not, and it was unusual to see one running in this configuration, as this one is at Ronkonkoma yard. The signal on the tall pole is the block limit signal for the Main Line at KO. |

4012 rolls east |
| Description: |
The mid day weekend Montauk train was 4012. Saturdays train was nothing special, but Sundays moved the parlors that would bring the weekenders home back to Montauk after servicing in Jamaica, and was usually a long train, 12-14 cars, and got a pair of GP 38s. Here it is rolling through the east end of Queens interlocking and past Bellerose station. |

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. |

One of a few |
| Description: |
A Ronkonkoma train, one of only a few to make the Republic stop, slows for the platform during the evening rush. Evidence of the upcoming electrification is apparent. The third rail is already in place, but will not be energized for another year or so, and the structure for the signals at an interlocking yet to be built is overhead, awaiting the new position lights. The old signal is showing a stop in the distance. |

Last of a series |
| Description: |
Or close to it on any regular basis. In three weeks, Id be moving to Binghamton, and would not be camped out on the platform at Bellerose most Sundays, though I will be back to visit from time to time. Train 4012 will roll on, however, and todays is typical for the season: a pair of GP 38s with a cut of parlors head out, and about 14 cars for Montauk. |
