Great light |
| Description: |
One of the things about the winter was the low light, which offset the short days. An afternoon westbound from Ronkonkoma rolls toward Jamaica as the low sun lights up the FA leading the train. |

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. |

College town stop |
| Description: |
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. |
