Short car
Title:  Short car
Description:  LIRR had some of these small cabooses that youd think would be used primarily on peddler freights and short trips on the west end, with the bay window cars going "on the road" as it were, but all of them were used systemwide. This short car is trailing RF 7 at Fresh Pond a job it i well suited for.

Short one for the local
Title:  Short one for the local
Description:  One of LIRRs short wheelbase cars is working on RF 7 today, seen at Fremont. They often wound up in the middle of the train. Hope the crew remembered to switch it out before dropping the cars for Conrail.
