Backlit
Title:  Backlit
Description:  The sun on Long Island is in the wrong place to get good nose lit shots, but I usually gave it a try anyway. It worked best during the lonc days of the year, as the angle was as good as it was going to get for side lit. At least with the FAs going away, you could get a good lit shot.

4012
Title:  4012
Description:  I was church organist at a church in Jamaica for several years in the mid 80s. I got done around noon, and if I hustled, I had enough time to get to Bellerose for the mid day parade. One of my favorite targets was train 4012, which in the summer had a swelled consist due to it being used as a deadhead move for freshlly serviced parlor cars. Youll see a lot of it. I probably saw every GP 38 LIRR had on it over several years.

New station
Title:  New station
Description:  As the Ronkonkoma electrification project nearedcompletion, some of the stations were finished and ready to enter service. As this happened, trains began stopping at the new platforms and the old ones were removed from service. One such place was Bethpage, where the new station is in use, though the official opening is still three months off. This group of home bound commuters undoubtedly appreciated the improvement.

Doubleheaded power
Title:  Doubleheaded power
Description:  Not exactly. My guess is the MP 15 power pack was not the unit the engineer wanted in the lead, so he swapped the GP 38 from the west end. Its also possible its just a power swap. Either way, its an unconventional arrangement. Rolling through Mineola late at night.

Description:  A pair of GP 38s lead 4012, as is typical til late October.

The railroad accomodates these travelers by running the cars til the weather gets too cold for the beach.
