Nassau interlocking |
| Description: |
LI 607 brings up the rear of an Oyster Bay train taking the branch. In the photo, we see Nassau tower, and to its right, the power station that once supplied third rail power for the line that ran to a connection with the Hempstead Branch at Garden, a few miles south in Garden City, a line which was abandoned in the late 60s. I am standing on the extended platform, located where the connection to the branch once ran-it surved around to the right of the power station. Nassau was once a larger junction than now, with the Main Line going east and west, and connections to Oyster Bay and the south shore via the branch to Hempstead. |

Clean paint |
| Description: |
It was encouraging to see LIRR still painting its FAs this late in their careers. The Ronkonkoma electrification project would open in a year, and their future was clouded. |

Clean power |
| Description: |
Well, the paint is-we all know that Alcos were heavy smokers, though by this time, these units had Caterpillar engine/generator sets installed, and were much more efficient and cleaner running. This is a Ronkonkoma train headed east. |

Dodging the shadows |

The FA trailing this eastbound Ronkonkoma train is playing in the shadows of the signal bridge as it makes its way into Queens interlocking on a cold day shortly before Christmas. A month from now, this run will be covered by MUs. |

Blasting through |
| Description: |
Except for one morning rush train, everything that came in the Main Line from Mineola made its last stop before Jamaica at New Hyde Park, about 1/4 mile to the east. This Port Jeff train made its last stop at Mineola, and is getting a good roll on as it approaches the upgrade to Floral Park on its way to LIRRs main transfer point. |
