Still working both sides |
| Description: |
A C420 is in the midst of its train on RF 7, passing Jamaica station, as a passenger train passes behind another C 420. By this time, the LIRR had all of its 28 GP38-2s in service, and it was becoming unusual to see an Alco on a passenger train. This was quite a catch. |

Monkey in the middle |
| Description: |
The LIRR was not your typical freight carrier. Their focus was primarily commuters, and they are the busiest commuter road in the US, with 90% of their revenue coming from passengers. Their freight operations were largely an afterthought under the MTA, and could get kind of odd. One such unusual practice was running power mid train. This facilitated switching facing point customer sidings, of which there were quite a few. Thus we find RF 7 with C 420 227 working from the middle as it passes Jamaica station on one of the bypass tracks south of track 8. |

Morning line up |
| Description: |
A set of C 420s is on the ready track at Holban Yard, ready to move out with whatever the yardmaster has put together for them. Theyll go east later in the day. Holban, a combination of HOLlis and st alBANs, sat between the two sections of Queens, in a triangle shape, bounded by the Main Line on the north, and the Montauk Branch on the south. The Montauk Branch is seen behind the power, its viaduct crossing over the eastbound Main Line and yard lead just west of the yard at a place called Hillside, where there was an abandoned station. It is used by trains going to Babylon, as well as a few diesel trains going farther east. |

Switching |
| Description: |
RF 62 often did extensive switching at Riverhead where there were several sidings and an active team track. Here the power backs down to a hitch with a boxcar as the rest of the train sits on the main. This train did not have radios for the crews, and all moves were coordinated by hand signals. |

All Alco meet |
| Description: |
The origination point for RF 62, the Riverhead freight, was at a small station in Pine Aire in Suffolk county. The train would switch its cars and a local customer in between rush hour commuter trains, clearing up for each one til the morning rush was over. Here we see RF 62 in the hole for an early morning westbound behind FA 2 606 |

Changes coming |
| Description: |
RF 63 rolls past the Ronkonkoma station and under a bridge that has been smoked by E6, H10, G5 and K4 steam power. The whole scene will change in another 15 months when the Ronkonkoma electrification project is complete. Already the earthwork and utilities are being installed, as well as some grading. |
