Power pack on 4012 |
| Description: |
Train 4012 in the summer had the duty of taking parlor cars back to the east end after servicing in Jamaica, and was usually a lengthy train, even by LIRR standards. It ususally got an MP 15 power pack rather than an FA. Today is true to form, as 168 bings up the rear. |

Lonely out there |
| Description: |
Train 251, the westbound mid day scoot from Riverhead to Ronkonkoma, is ready to return west at Riverhead. You can count the riders on one hand for this trip. It will get busier at Ronkonkoma, as this is the first day of electric service on the Main Line there. |
