Hi all,
Stumbled upon this video with a lot of footage from fan trips. The section starting at 1:09:09 looks like it is coming south from Mineola to the junction in Hempstead then turning west towards Garden City? Then runs west for a bit. Then is shown coming back up to Mineola from Hempstead before crossing over and heading up the Creedmoor Branch?

Nice find!! A lot of rare stuff, seeing a steamer in the float yard, going down the East Leg at Pond, the one that got me was watching it descend off of the Mainline Cutoff into Harold. I had to stop there, but that was great! Thanks for posting...
