Eastbound surprise |
| Description: |
In 1978, the LIRR extended a couple of Ronkonkoma trains to Yaphank in response to the growing traffic as population on Long Island grew. Aside from the benefit to far east end riders, the bonus to fans was that they usually drew a C 420, which was becoming a rare event in those days, as the GP 38s had largely taken over the passenger duties. I caught one at Ronkonkoma, almost close enough to grab it. This was early in my photography career, and I still had a thing or two to learn about composition. |

Mid day layovers |
| Description: |
This is not the greatest shot. I probably took it with the 110 Instamatic I was using then, in my early rail photograpy days, but it catches a transitional time on the LIRR. We see an Alco in the MTA blue/yellow scheme from the late 60s with a passenger train, something that would very shortly become a rarity, as the GP 38s had been delivered; an MP 15 poking out behind a train in the center of the photo, probably the only place in America where they were used in passenger service; and two of the aforementioned GP 38s, one at far right, the other just poking a nose out behind the Alco. These units would be hold sway on diesel trains for almost the next 30 years. |

Local power |
| Description: |
Long Island had a small yard at Pinelawn. The power there was usually an MP 15, but occasionally would be one or two C 420s. Today I got lucky and caught a pair of Centuries there. Note the maintenance trucks at right. LIRR kept the blue/yellow on its vehicles long after the trains went to blue and white. |

Train 254 with MP 15 163 leading goes past the old Deer Park station en route to the end of its run in Ronkonkoma. The station here is no longer in use for passengers, having been supplanted by the new high level station built as part of the Ronkonkoma electrification. It will be kept for the freight crews and MOW. |
