M 1s for northeast Queens |
| Description: |
A westbound Port Washington train makes it stop at Douglaston. Douglaston was one of the better areas in Queens, some of its residents being movie actor Arthur Treacher, known for his roles as a butler; concert pianist Claudio Arrau(and conductor James Conlon grew up here); and tennis star John McEnroe, who also grew up here, learning his trade at the Douglaston Club a mile or so away. |

Under the signals |
| Description: |
One of my favorite places to watch the LIRR action was Queens Village. It was easy to get to, usually there was parking, and it was busy. The added attraction was the row of PRR style position light signals at the east end of the station. Watching the lights change as trains knocked them down and they were cleared was endlessly fascinating. An eastbound Huntington train rolls under the signals, about to cross over from track 3 to track 2 as it makes its way through Queens interlocking, just to the east. The tower is visible at far left, beyond the signal bridge. Note the clear signal on track 4; a Hempstead train is imminent. |

Yellowbird |
| Description: |
LIRR painted the stripe yellow across the nose after it was found that the plain nose was not very visible at crossings. It does add a splash of color, but to me does not look as good as the original blue. Train is running from Huntington to New York. |

Long train |
| Description: |
The LIRR ran some long-for a commuter line-trains. Train length was driven by platform length, and the longest typically was 12 cars. One of those trains rolls through Forest Hills on its way to Babylon. The signal bridge overhead shows an approach and a clear for westbound trains. Watching the PRR signals was almost as much fun as watching the trains, as they had numerous aspects designed to keep trains moving in a high density operation. |

MUs on the Oyster Bay Branch |
| Description: |
Third rail extended to East Williston on the Oyster Bay Branch, but only one train a day took advantage of the electrification. It was train 1501, which deadheaded to East Williston, then turned to run back toward New York at 0730. Here it is making its crossover move to the westbound side and entering the station to make its pick up. The train had the distinction of being the only Main Line train to stop at Floral Park. |
