Backing down |
| Description: |
The power for LISE is backing down past Lutheran Cemetery in Queens as it heads to pick up its train, and return to Oak Point yard in the Bronx. There it will gather any cars for Selkirk, returning up the Hudson Line after rush hour. Note the catenary supports still hanging over the tracks. In New Haven days, this was a big time electrified freight line. |

LISE rolls through the backyards of Elmhurst as it makes its way to Hell Gate Bridge and the Bronx. The road at far right going under the tracks is Queens Blvd, which the railroad crosses on a series of concrete arch bridges. |

Grand Central |
| Description: |
No, its not the one youre thinking of. LISE soars over the Grand Central Parkway as it approaches Hell Gate. The parkway below leads to the Triboro Bridge, which runs alongside the railroad bridge into the Bronx. Its a great place to watch the action. |

Here comes Conrail |
| Description: |
The power for RF 7 sits to the side as WNOP17 arrives from Oak Point yard in the Bronx. Theyll swap cars and the CR job will be on its way back in 30 minutes. Since CR sold the Bay Ridge line to the LIRR several years earlier, the job from the Bronx is now a turn, since CR does not have to work the branch. |
