Long Beach train

NY bound
Title:  NY bound
Description:  An MU train led by one of the late M 1 sets rolls in from Huntington on its way to Jamaica and Penn Station. Note the "stealth" scheme. There is no "M" herald on the nose, in fact it's completely blank. Just another variation of the many latter day paint jobs on Long Island.

MUs to Hempstead
Title:  MUs to Hempstead
Description:  I was waiting for the Ringling Bros train to get underway off the Mitchell Field Secondary. Before they let the circus train out, all other traffc will clear. One of those moves was this eastbound headed around the southwest leg of what was once a wye as it heads for the Hempstead station.
