Engineers view |
| Description: |
LIRR had a "narrow gauge" train set up. It was maybe 3 foot gauge, with a diesel and cars painted in the LIRR "Worlds Fair" scheme, similar to the paint on the prototype. The power was an actual diesel, and we see it from the engineers viewpoint. I think the track was better than the LIRRs at that time. |

| Title: |
Fair train |
| Description: |
The narrow gauge train that ran around the LIRR exhibit at the fair was headed by this model F 3, oddly, the only EMD on the all Alco LIRR at the time. It was fun to ride, though, especially if you were five, as I was, and not already a rivet counter. |
