Switching |
| Description: |
RF 62 often did extensive switching at Riverhead where there were several sidings and an active team track. Here the power backs down to a hitch with a boxcar as the rest of the train sits on the main. This train did not have radios for the crews, and all moves were coordinated by hand signals. |

Meeting an eastbound |
| Description: |
The challenge for RF 62/63 was to get out to Riverhead, do whatever work it had to get done along the way, and get back to Pine Aire in time to beat the rush hour. They usually made it, though would start to run up against the leading edge of the rush hour parade as they got west of Ronkonkoma. Heres RF 63 meeting train 254 behind class unit 250 at Deer Park. Almost home. |

The origination point for RF 62, the Riverhead freight, was at a small station in Pine Aire in Suffolk county.

RF 7 west |
| Description: |
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. |

RF 11 was pulled up to the signal on track 4 at Queens to wait for traffic, not uncommon as there was a flurry of passenger trains around 1 AM every night. Todays train has three C 420s instead of the usual two. Pennsys position light signals were always interesting to watch, especially so at night. Hell get going after the Oyster Bay train clears going east. |

Just passing through |
| Description: |
Youd never know it to see the place now, but Manorville was once an important junction on the LIRR. There was a branch here that split from the Main Line, connecting to the Montauk Branch at Eastport. It was commonly used by trains going to the Hamptons and east. It was abandoned in 1949; Manorville was never the same. RF 63 passes through without even breaking its pace. |

Alcos by the coal dock |
| Description: |
A pair of C 420s, now stored since the Ronkonkoma electrification rendered newer diesels available for freight service, pose by the concrete coal dock at Morris Park shop. The Alcos will have a brief reprieve, and return to service for a few more years. The coaling tower has, however, seen its last steam engine. The tracks in the foreground are the Atlantic Branch, which are coming out of the Atlantic Av tunnel, where they have been since just east of Nostrand Av station in Brooklyn. The cars beyond the Alcos are part of the alcohol train, and are equipped to spray an alcohol based chemical on the third rail to keep it from getting iced up in winter. |
