| Title: |
FA rolls west |
| Description: |
An FA leads this inbound Ronkonkoma train. The unit number is stenciled on the nose, another of the many variations of the LIRR paint scheme. The station at Farmingdale, seen at right in the background, was an attractive brick structure that seemed too big for the ridership the station handled. The electrification project is well along here, with a new high level platform and third rail installed, and a new signal bridge for a yet to be installed interlocking. |

FA up the branch |
| Description: |
An FA 1(though it now has a Caterpillar engine/generator set) is trailing an Oyster Bay train, which is about to take the switch to head toward its next stop at East Williston. Nassau Tower is the white building behind the train, controlling the moves here. |

| Title: |
Out behind the barn |
| Description: |
This FA has been pushed off into exile, where the dead power winds up. Dont know if this unit ever ran again-it looks like it had a fire. There were a few that disappeared for a while-sometimes months-only to show up again later. By this time, all four of the ex MILW and B&O F units were running, and the more marginal FAs were going into storage. The completion of the electrification to Ronkonkoma would spell the end for a number of these classics in a few months. |
