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?

150, 164 and 161 (cab painted blue and yellow, the rest still in its old very ratty paint) slowly working east with a welded rail train dropping rail on the original main between Wyandanch and the Deer Park Ave overpass.

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.

Yesterday 4/27,
161 and 150 were seen on the Garden City Secondary at a little after 5pm with four LI yellow flat cars.
Today 4/28,
150 was seen picking up thirteen stone cars on the Garden City Secondary with 161 sandwiched between the stone cars and four LI yellow flat cars at around 11:40AM.
They held on the secondary and followed train 6751 at around 12:26PM.

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