Mighty mite |
| Description: |
The smallest power on the LIRR was two shop switchers that worked at Morris Park. They could be seen spotting power around the shop area, but were hard to come by from the road. Here we see 397 from Atlantic Av in company of some other interesting power. |

Wishful thinking |
| Description: |
A pair of FAs is coupled elephant style at the Morris Park shop, probably dreaming of the days when theyd go out like this on heavy freight. Ah, the memories!! Note the coupler on 105. This is one of the Harold protect engines, along with 101. They are fitted with couplers that will mate with the M 1 and M 3 cars, and are stationed at Harold Tower in LI City, to fetch a disabled MU train should it be necessary. The pair would shortly be repainted in a dark gray/orange scheme, a 1960's retro paint job that was quite attractive on them. |

FA 611 leads |
| Description: |
An Oyster Bay train with an FA leading pushes up the grade to the Floral Park station. The grade came about as the result of the railiroad lifing the tracks up on a viaduct that took the station and junction above street level in the early 60s. |

Big picture |
| Description: |
This westbound led by an FA shows the whole Queens Village station area, as well as the west end of Queens interlocking-Queens tower is behind the third car in the train. The station is largely intact, the ticket office, though is down below off Springfield Blvd. Still, its a good looking structure in 1988. The signals are the west limit of Queens, where trains will go onto either the Main Line, which is the two north tracks;or the Hempstead Branch, the two south tracks. Theyll run alongside each other as far as Floral Park. The tower also controls the wye connection to the Belmont Spur, leading to Belmont Racetrack, which connects from track 4 at far right. |

A different 611 |
| Description: |
Long Island used modified Alco FA's to provide train hotel power, and as control cabs. They were typically on the west end of trains, making photography of them leading somewhat problematic on their morning westbound runs. This one is pulling away as the train heads through Nassau interlocking and up the Oyster Bay branch. Of note are two buildings in the background. The first, seen above the second car from the FA, is Nassau tower. The Long Island may have the most active towers of any railroad in America at this point in history. The second notable structure is the ivy covered building immediately behind the FA. It was once a power station for the LIRR electrified lines, which, in addition to the Main Line west, also included third rail to East Williston on the Oyster Bay branch, and on the line that turned south here to reach Garden City and Hempstead. It was once possible to go from Mineola to West Hempstead and Valley Stream by train. |

LI 612 |
| Description: |
A Long Island push-pull commuter train passes the picturesque Mill Neck depot on the Oyster Bay branch. I always thought this depot would have looked right at home in the UK. It was closed by the railroad 3/16/1998 and now houses a post office and police substation. Looks like Dave borrowed his Mom's '66 Pontiac Bonneville for this photo expedition. LI 612 was ex-BN 4100, nee-SP&S 856. Date of photo approximate. |

FA rolls west |
| Description: |
An FA leads this inbound Ronkonkoma train. The unit number is stenciled on the nose, another of the many variations of the LIRR paint scheme. The station at Farmingdale, seen at right in the background, was an attractive brick structure that seemed too big for the ridership the station handled. The electrification project is well along here, with a new high level platform and third rail installed, and a new signal bridge for a yet to be installed interlocking. |

Out behind the barn |
| Description: |
This FA has been pushed off into exile, where the dead power winds up. Dont know if this unit ever ran again-it looks like it had a fire. There were a few that disappeared for a while-sometimes months-only to show up again later. By this time, all four of the ex MILW and B&O F units were running, and the more marginal FAs were going into storage. The completion of the electrification to Ronkonkoma would spell the end for a number of these classics in a few months. |
