NY&A Rolling Stock??

I don't have any pictures, but both derailments were widely covered in the media and I know both made the TV news.

This is a synopsis of the investigation regarding derailment #2:

passenger car left today. It was tacked onto the back of the usual run to oak point, behind the bushwick trash cars, with an empty boxcar bracketing it.

I saw it on the back of CSX Q430 behind the cut of Hunts Point cars. It had RPCX reporting marks if I read the side of the coach correctly. Same way they left years ago on the rear with a boxcar attached to the hind end.

Most privately owned passenger cars today have RPCX markings. That belongs to the Railroad Passenger Car Alliance, an organization of private car owners. This is probably the best system to set up a car for movement like this. Through them, you can get a reporting mark, car reader and have the car registered in UMLER. Back when the LIRR coaches were moved off of the property, this system was not yet in place.

The boxcar on the end is probably placed there for the FRED, which has problems being mounted in passenger couplers.

Do any of u guys have a photo of this coach?

Yup ok. I found an earlier photo of it also - before NY&A was painted out.

Is it still in Selkirk?

I would think so. Photo was taken yesterday. If it's not there they must have moved it to kingston where I'm assuming it'll be put on a truck to move to cmrr (which doesn't currently have a switch connecting to an outside rr). Don't know anything beyond that - probably best to discuss it's future over on the cmrr thread in the NY State board.

Yes. Here's a special shot:
LIRR C62 Maspeth Yard 1997 LIRR required a NYA manned caboose for the eastbound Stone Train

NYA had 62 and 65. 65 is now on LIRC and 62 was renumbered 52.
