Early in the morning |
| Description: |
An FA power pack and what will eventually replace many of them, an MP 15, stand in the yard at Oyster Bay. The MP 15 will lead a later train. The FA will go out shortly, with me riding the left hand seat as part of a LIRR program to familiarize riders with the diesel operations on the railroad, a PR program that they did in 1979. |

An eastbound Ronkonkoma train speeds past the platform at Floral Park. Despite having platforms on all four tracks, only two trains used the ones on the main line, one westbound, and one eastbound. |

MP 15 leads |
| Description: |
Some trains got MP 15s for power packs, such as this westbound on the Oyster Bay branch. Note the speed lettering numbers on the side of 165. This was not typical, and I dont know of any other unit so painted. |

Equipment move |
| Description: |
Looking like 4012, a Montauk train with a long consist, this equipment move rolls east on the Main Line past Bellerose. The giveaway that its not 4012 is the MP 15 on the east end-4012 almost always had a pair of GP 38s, with an MP 15 on the rear; and that there are no parlors on this train. |

Big picture |
| Description: |
This shot of a westbound Oyster Bay train shows the facilities at Queens Village. The station is along Jamaica Av, which parallels just to the north. At the east end of the station is a signal bridge. It marks the west limit of Queens interlocking, which is controlled by Queens tower, seen to the right of the train. Also in Queens interlocking limits is the connection to the now out of service Belmont Spur, which leaves the Main Line here to reach Belmont Racetrack, home of the Belmont Stakes, a triple crown event. |
