Love it, as always, however, hated to see the picture of the PRR-style position light signals out of service at KO.

Ugghhhhhh............cut me deep to see that pic again! The PRR-style position light signals are easy to read, convey the intent for the block from the tower and are a proven article. Sorry to see them go for this other low-home pedestal bullshit, or whatever it's called.

Steve - Another good monthly update with the Greenport 180th/LIRR 190th Anniversary Trip a standout...

TL - I fully understand your strong feelings about losing PRR type position light signals on the LIRR...

BUT - You MUST remember that young people and LIRR management types read these RR.Net posts also...

In this instance just use "BS" instead as a courtesy to get your point across to not run afoul of any moderator...

LC is one of the most laid-back moderators at RR.Net...I can think of others that I will not name that have far
less tolerance and are much more likely to issue a warning or possibly even a suspension for this infraction...

At minimum the post will get changed deleting the offensive words/language - or be removed in its entirity...

I stay away from those "Seven Words That You Can Not Say On TV" (a George Carlin comedy title) when I post regardless of differences of opinion and/or other disagreements about topics of discussion here at RR.Net...

MACTRAXX

That area actually looked different before 2001 when the Ronkonkoma car wash was added there.
