Working on the railroad |
| Description: |
C 420 223 has a work train under control as the construction continues for the electrification project that will bring better and faster service to central Long Island. LIRR had little freight equipment of its own, just some MOW cars, so had to use other roads cars for projects, such as the C&O gon behind the power. Opening day is only 15 months off. |

Stone to Holtsville |
| Description: |
RF 56, a weekend train that ran the Main Line, rolls through B Towers interlocking with 35 cars of stone for Prema Asphalt in Holtsville. They were a big seasonal customer on the LIRR, getting several trainloads of stone per week from a quarry in Connecticut via the P&W. The track in the foreground is the Central Branch, which runs to a connection with the Babylon Branch just west of the Babylon station. It is used by RF 64/65 and a host of commuter trains. |

| Description: |
Or maybe there will be. A pair of C 420s rendered surplus sit behind the shop at Morris Park. At this point, their future looks dim, but the Centuries will rise again, and have an indian summer for a few years before finally going to scrap. Note the other equipment stashed with the Alcos-a cupola caboose, a box car, and a retire B 60 baggage car. I can recall seeing these on some east end trains in the 1960's. |

RF 65 |
| Description: |
RF 65 heads west toward Hicksville behind a pair of C 420s. When LIRR started building high level platforms at all its stations, it also built pedestrian overpasses, which opened up photo angles previously not available. Here, Im taking advantage of the the new overpass to get this panoramic view of Kings Park on the Port Jeff branch. |

| 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. |
