| Title: |
Onto the double track |
| Description: |
A Penn Station bound Port Washington train arrives at Great Neck, coming off the single track section from here to Port. Dont be fooled by the signals. East of the station on the track 2 alignment is a siding, used by trains that turn short here. |

| Title: |
Approach Medium |
| Description: |
Now that the NY bound train has cleared the interlocking, the signal has cleared to an Approach Medium. I did not go to check, but the LIRR must have tied the east end of the siding in with the main track when they rebuilt it. Prior to then, the track arrangement here had been the double track ended, tying into the main track, then another switch just to the east to get into the stub end siding-the short section of track 2 between the crossovers did not exist. Now, access to the siding has been made so eastbound trains dont have to take the main track to get there. All new to me since I had moved away 15 years before-as are the M 7's. |

Into the siding |
| Description: |
An eastbound Port Washington train takes the siding east of Great Neck, and will head out the other end to gain the main track to reach Manhasset and Port Washington. |

| Title: |
Port Washington train in the rain |
| Description: |
I had to go back to New York for moms funeral, and had some free time. Theres always a lot of down time with these things, so my wife and I decided to go into the city for the day and do some visiting. While waiting for our train, this eastbound showed. Hard to believe this is now the third generation of MU train since the M 1s in 1968. Of course, since I showed up, so did the rain. |
