Oyster Bay train |
| Description: |
One of the prettier areas on the north shore was Locust Valley on the Oyster Bay Branch. This train has just left the station and is rolling for Mill Neck and the end of the trip at Oyster Bay. The building on the left was once Locust tower, now a substation for the Nassau County PD 6th Precinct. |

FA in the park |
| Description: |
The power pack on the Bay Ridge excursion was FA 2 602, seen here at the photo stop in Forest Park. The weather was dismal, as it always seemed to be when I went on a fantrip. |

End of the line |
| Description: |
It doesnt get much closer than this!! An October 1985 fantrip covered the Bay Ridge branch, which had recently been acquired from Conrail. At the time, float bridges were being reconstructed at the Bay Ridge yard. The tracks would be extended to them once they were completed, but for now, its a rather abrupt end. |
