As far out as you can go on Long Island. A weekend train sits at Montauk, its power coupled up and ready to head west for the weekend weary east enders going to the city to tackle another Monday. |

Long ride done |
| Description: |
A train from Jamaica has completed the 100 mile trip from Jamaica, now arriving at the farthest east place on the LIRR behind a pair of just delivered GP 38s in their original paint scheme. Most of the riders have detrained in the Hamptons, but a few hardy souls made the full run to weekend here at the end of the island. |

GP 38 pushing |
| Description: |
GP 38s pushing on Long Island was not unusual. Pushing east, however, was. The power pack is on the east end of the train here, MP 15 161 doing the honors leading eastbound. |

4012 with 2 |
| Description: |
A pair of GP 38s lead 4012, as is typical til late October. Even though the summer weekender and vacation season officially ends on Labor Day, many rider still take advantage of the parlor cars til late October. The railroad accomodates these travelers by running the cars til the weather gets too cold for the beach. |

4012 from a different perch |
| Description: |
I typically would go to Bellerose on Sunday, since it had the best viewing platform for trains on the Main Line. Occasionally Id go elsewhere, such as todays stop at Queens Village. We see 4012 behind the usual pair of GP 38s passing the Queens Village team yard west of the station. It will blow through the station, then bounce through Queens interlocking on its way to Hicksville and Montauk via the Central Branch. |
