3. Anyone with a better photo of C66 in MTA? And while in service in original livery?

Thanks folks... Updating the caboose roster page:http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirrcabooseroster.htm

Is this the one at the mta transit museum at the moment? (RMLI owned)

66 is still owned by LI, 60 is at the Transit Museum and is owned by Twin Forks NRHS, NOT RMLI.

That new picture is from a few weeks ago.

Sure! And I can read the repaint date, 10-12-1975!

Orange scheme up next, but a 126 photo

Hard to tell, but also the C66. It was a regular at Pine Aire:

I have this photo: c. early 1960's Steve Hoskins.

Must be a better one out there!

I started taking RR photos in 1983 and have a lot of caboose photos. For some reason I never saw C-66 out on the rosd during that period. The only time I saw that one was in Yard A in May 1988.

The first photo in the OP is labeled as "c66 at Queens Village"
The correct location is "c66 on 11tk west end of Jamaica platform (E,Tk8). The ripped up track is the former track 10 removed for reconfiguration account: new passenger platform being built.

Also note that the C66 looks fine less her glazing is not replaced and is missing her dashing Dan decal.
When ever she gets back to holban I'd like to see it finished. It's really cool to see the hack out as they're not the common sight they used to be. It's even nicer to see it painted in LI heritage paint.

Note c66 still has her roof walks. Did they get a waiver on that considering it's a historic car?

C66 is finished. It was repainted about a year ago and has been sitting in Hoban yard until recently. Unfortunately it was done with limited time and budget so replacement glazing was out of the question. It did receive a brake rebuild, the green generator was cut off the bottom and new LED marker lights. It also just had a conductor's name stenciled below the bay windows.

Thank you for the correction.
