Waiting for the board
Description:
RF 11 was pulled up to the signal on track 4 at Queens to wait for traffic, not uncommon as there was a flurry of passenger trains around 1 AM every night. Todays train has three C 420s instead of the usual two. Pennsys position light signals were always interesting to watch, especially so at night. Hell get going after the Oyster Bay train clears going east.

Waiting at the station
Description:
RF 11 was cooling its heels waiting for traffic at Queens Village in this platform shot, also showing the waiting area on the westbound platform across the tracks. Lead unit 228 seems to have a new coat of paint.

Just passing through
Description:
Youd never know it to see the place now, but Manorville was once an important junction on the LIRR. There was a branch here that split from the Main Line, connecting to the Montauk Branch at Eastport. It was commonly used by trains going to the Hamptons and east. It was abandoned in 1949; Manorville was never the same. RF 63 passes through without even breaking its pace.

Alcos by the coal dock
Description:
A pair of C 420s, now stored since the Ronkonkoma electrification rendered newer diesels available for freight service, pose by the concrete coal dock at Morris Park shop. The Alcos will have a brief reprieve, and return to service for a few more years. The coaling tower has, however, seen its last steam engine. The tracks in the foreground are the Atlantic Branch, which are coming out of the Atlantic Av tunnel, where they have been since just east of Nostrand Av station in Brooklyn. The cars beyond the Alcos are part of the alcohol train, and are equipped to spray an alcohol based chemical on the third rail to keep it from getting iced up in winter.
