FA in an unlikely position |
| Description: |
LIRRs FAs were non powered-their prime movers were wired to provide train heat and light, with no power going to any tractive effort. It was unusual to see them uncoupled, except in the yard, as we see here at Morris Park |

An eastbound train on the Main Line. Location is a guess, but single track leads me to believe east of Farmingdale. |

The head end is just about to pass under the sigmals as it reaches the west end of Queens interlocking. It will shortly meet a westbound, which can be seen in the distance near the Bellerose station. |

Coming and going |
| Description: |
The westbound train from Oyster Bay has arrived, and is making its stop, as the eastbound pulls away in the right distance. At this time, Long Island was about the only place in North America where you could see a pair of FAs meeting. |

FAs for college kids |
| Description: |
This westbound led by an FA makes its stop at Stony Brook. The crossing directly in front of the engine leads to the SUNY Stony Brook campus. Pretty convenient, Id say. |
