RF 7 west  Contributor's Pick!       
RF 7 works on the Montauk branch at Fresh Pond. We see it passing under the Conrail line from Hell Gate Bridge, where interchange traffic is exchanged between the LIRR and CR. The dwarf signal protects the connecting track from the Bay Ridge line, which curves sharply off to the left out of the picture, from trains leaving Fresh Pond yard. The train is about to pass Pond tower, and then will roll under the NYCTA Myrtle Av line, at the time the M train.
