Kabin Kars |
| Description: |
The LIRR ran a Kabin Kar Trek on this Sunday, covering some of the freight only areas on the west end, including Bushwick Terminal and the Bay Ridge Branch. After swapping power at Jamaica, it ran out the Mitchell Field Secondary behind a set of Alcos. Here is is passing the Queens Village team yard with FA 609 leading a pair of C 420s repainted in the MTA scheme from the 1960s. The Centuries still have their 251 engines, but the FA has had its 244 removed and a Caterpillar engine/generator set installed. It's just along for the ride, but an Alco cab leading a pair of Centuries is still a good looking consist. |

FA |
| Description: |
Dad was not really a railfan, but hed shoot a photo of anything that struck him. During our two weeks in 1975, we caught this FA about to roll out on a westbound train from Montauk. The engineer on the train didnt want the aging cab unit, so he moved the Precision GP 9 to the west end of the train and coupled it ahead of the Alco, much to his crews dismay. |

LIRR 611 leads a westbound Oyster Bay train into Greenvale. The sign notes it is the stop for CW Post College, and NY Institute of Technology. CW Post-founded with money from the cereal magnate-was by then part of the Long Island University system. One omission on the sign is the NY Chiropractic College, which was adjacent to CW Post just to the east on NY 25A. |

Wishful thinking |
| Description: |
A pair of FAs is coupled elephant style at the Morris Park shop, probably dreaming of the days when theyd go out like this on heavy freight. Ah, the memories!! Note the coupler on 105. This is one of the Harold protect engines, along with 101. They are fitted with couplers that will mate with the M 1 and M 3 cars, and are stationed at Harold Tower in LI City, to fetch a disabled MU train should it be necessary. The pair would shortly be repainted in a dark gray/orange scheme, a 1960's retro paint job that was quite attractive on them. |

| Description: |
This westbound led by an FA shows the whole Queens Village station area, as well as the west end of Queens interlocking-Queens tower is behind the third car in the train. The station is largely intact, the ticket office, though is down below off Springfield Blvd. Still, its a good looking structure in 1988. The signals are the west limit of Queens, where trains will go onto either the Main Line, which is the two north tracks;or the Hempstead Branch, the two south tracks. Theyll run alongside each other as far as Floral Park. The tower also controls the wye connection to the Belmont Spur, leading to Belmont Racetrack, which connects from track 4 at far right. |

| Description: |
Power pack 611 is bringing up the rear on this Oyster Bay train as it clears the main, which will shortly be rocked by another eastbound. Nassau tower, behind the second car, controls the action. In 2016, it still does. |
