RF 65 |
Description: |
RF 65 originated at Pinelawn and worked west on the Main Line to Hicksville, then either up the Port Jefferson Branch, or to the Montauk Branch via B tower and the Central Branch. Here we see it passing through the new high level platforms at Farmingdale just after the morning rush making its trip to Hicksville to work the yard there, then on to the rest of the days assignments. |

Circus train going away |
Description: |
The Ringling Bros circus train made an annual trip to Long Island, playing a string of shows at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. The train would use the Mitchell Field Secondary to stage for the shows. Here we see it rolling through Forest Hills with the only instance I can think of where "foreign" equipment ran through onto Long Island-a Conrail caboose. |

Ringling Bros train |
Description: |
The Ringling Brothers circus usually played the Nassai Coliseum in Uniondale in late November and December. They would run the train out on the Mitchell Field Secondary to access the Coliseum, as it was the closest place to it, and where they could tie up a 60 odd car train. The morning after the circus closed, the train would run west via the Hempstead Branch and Main Line to Long Island City, where Amtrak power would go on, and it would run to Jersey via Penn Station. Here we see it coming around the curve at Floral Park. |

Pushing to Jamaica |
Description: |
An Oyster Bay train has made its stop at Mineola and the MP 15 on the east end is now pushing to a connection with the rest of the world at Jamaica. This was standard power for some trains on that line in the 80s. Note the parlor just ahead of the diesel. This was the train set that had the subscription car for the high end commuters on it, now returning to Jamaica. |

Bring on the snow |
Description: |
A major snowfall was predicted for this day-the NY area got over 14"-and many places let their employees out early, including mine. Instead of going home like any sensible person, I went out to shoot train pictures. As the storm was getting started, I caught this Oyster Bay train blasting through New Hyde Park. By 6 PM, things would be thoroughly bogged down in the snow. |

Track 4 |
Description: |
Sometimes the LIRR would run the circus train across to track 1 at Queens, as it runs the Main Line to Harold, where Amtrak power takes over. Today, the movement director has decided to run it on track 4, since it will go to Yard A, and not be handed off to Amtrak. It will take the freight bypass tracks on the south side of Jamaica station, then run the Montauk Branch, entering Sunnyside Yard A to back down to the old staging yard for the LI City ferry. There it will spot the cars for unloading. |

The power for RF 7 sits to the side as WNOP17 arrives from Oak Point yard in the Bronx. Theyll swap cars and the CR job will be on its way back in 30 minutes. Since CR sold the Bay Ridge line to the LIRR several years earlier, the job from the Bronx is now a turn, since CR does not have to work the branch. |
