Surfs up!!
Title:  Surfs up!!
Description:  Long Island for a time painted their GP38s witha red stripe. The inspiration was their Bicentennial unit, 252, which was painted that way when it arrived in 1976. Eventually all the big road power got the treatment, which only lasted a few years.

LIRR 256

Ronkonkoma train
Title:  Ronkonkoma train
Description:  About an hour after 4012 rolled through, this Ronkonkoma train-4252, I believe-came east with a more standard set of a single GP 38, six or seven cars, and an FA(most of the time). Always fun to watch it bounce through the switches at Queens. In the background, RF 57 heads down the middle track toward Jamaica and Fresh Pond.

Long train for winter
Title:  Long train for winter
Description:  Train 4012 was the mid day Sunday Montauk train, and usually ran long, as it was used to position equipment to accommondate returning weekenders. In winter it had no parlors, but could still run ten cars. We see it passing the station as it runs full out for Hicksville and the Central Branch.
