Description:  This is one of the ex Milwaukee Road Fs, this one an F 9, that LIRR acquired and converted to a power pack. We see it pushing an Oywter Bay train west on a cloudy day.

Title:  Port Jeff train for Jamaica
Description:  A nort Jeff train rolls toward Jamaica and NY/Brooklyn connections behind an ex MILW F. Here's another variation on the cab unit paint scheme-the bow wave.
