With the Ronkonkoma Branch out this weekend for switch work east of Farmingdale, caught this work train after the snow stopped this morning.Train is not moving. On #166, I noticed the white decals on yellow paint doesn't look good.

Hello tj48, the #152 is special to me and my family, my Dad retried in 1977 and # 152 was his engine that day, its good to hear its still running and did they repaint it yet?

I saw that welded rail train Saturday morning. Also caught flats with concrete ties last week. What's exactly going on with track replacement on the Ronkonkoma branch ?

Saw 157 and 153 with what looked like some gondolas going westbound at Mineola around 9:50 AM today. 157 was leading.

Edit: Both of the noses were in new yellow paint. Sides not so much.

all those years of rollerjobs have really gone a long way to protect the original paint on these units
