Interesting critter |
| Description: |
This Mack diesel was at Ringoes NJ on a trip my dad and my brother John took on the Black River & Western in October of 1973. I was not on this trip, cant think of why at the moment, since I would not miss such an excursion if I had a choice. |

Setting off |
| Description: |
I had chased a set of lite power up from Siloam, to find him holding south of the siding at Gentry. A moment later the reason why became apparent when this hi rail truck appeared. I expected him to get out and bar up the rail wheels, but before I could even get a good set up, hed already raised them. Aint modern technology great?? Pushbutton from the cab. Bet the MOW guys like that!! |

On |
| Description: |
I had chased and empty coal train up from Siloam, to find I had beaten in handily to Gentry, on what is usually a fairly close chase. Then a couple of hi rails showed up at Main St, to dismount. This one has just arrived, still on the rails. |

Engineers view |
| Description: |
LIRR had a "narrow gauge" train set up. It was maybe 3 foot gauge, with a diesel and cars painted in the LIRR "Worlds Fair" scheme, similar to the paint on the prototype. The power was an actual diesel, and we see it from the engineers viewpoint. I think the track was better than the LIRRs at that time. |

Fair train |
| Description: |
The narrow gauge train that ran around the LIRR exhibit at the fair was headed by this model F 3, oddly, the only EMD on the all Alco LIRR at the time. It was fun to ride, though, especially if you were five, as I was, and not already a rivet counter. |
