Long haul |
| Description: |
Most of the Sperry cars are old interurbans. Despite the bright yellow paint that gives away their ownership, seeing one roll down the tracks like this gives a glimpse into what the passenger service of the 1920s might have looked like. |

Checking the Main Line |
| Description: |
Sperry car 134 rolls through New Hyde Park on track 1 as it checks for rail defects. Working the electrified zone could be a challenge for the Sperry car, since it needed an absolute clear to run, a hard thing to come by with the traffic density on this end of the railroad. |
