EL gon
Title:  EL gon
Description:  As CR predecessor roads faded into memory, it was nice to find some of their equipment still running around. In ELs case, it was mostly hoppers and boxcars, but sometimes something else would show up. In this case, it was a gondola that I caught on LIRR freight RF 60, here at Richmond Hill in Queens, somewhat worse for wear 13 years after the fall, but still out there.

Sunday freight
Title:  Sunday freight
Description:  On Sunday Sep 10 1989, LIRR ran a fan trip that allowed fans to ride cabooses. It was well attended, and there were many chasers as well. The LIRR is a busy road, and normal activities went on as they always do. One such was weekend freight RF 60, seen here on the Montauk Branch with a pair of MP 15s. The caboose special would be along shortly.
