Nice photos Anthony. Are those M-1s property of RMLI? or only in storage?
32 x 5 = 160. However, R32 divided by 5 = R160

What is the piping for on the engineers side starting above the ASC box?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Why did the NY & A stop running to the public delivery track in Southold ??
The irony here being that last summer when a number of grade crossings were rebuilt east of Riverhead, the Youngs Avenue crossing in Southold had the lead track
to the delivery track rebuilt, including the crossing with concrete ties no less.

Because it didn't make any sense to go out to Southold once a week at most for 1 car. Once marketing sat down and rethought the business as a whole, it didn't make any sense business wise. It would be a loss since the cost of having a crew/fuel would neutralize the cost of making money on the move.
If Pulver Gas in Bridgehampton didn't receive cars, the Montauk would indeed be cut from NYAR's operating territory. In fact, NYAR told Pulver it will only switch them when it's ready for a full cut of cars (being 5).

Why did the NY & A stop running to the public delivery track in Southold ??Because it cost more to deliver the car to Southold (diesel fuel, crew overtime, mileage paid to LIRR, etc.) than it took in via revenue. The customer was offered to have the service continued, but they would have to pay the difference. They chose not to receive cars anymore. Also Penny Lumber was sold to Marjam Supply, which already receives cars in Farmingdale. So the lumber is trucked from there.

Since they already have a large supply of concrete crossings, that's what they used. They will stand up better to road traffic than the rubber ones anyway.
