No way! Keep it up! Usually I check for your updates on the first of the month and was concerned that something had happened to you when you didn’t post your “My website updates”.

Isn’t it adorable how Newsday, REPEATEDLY in the article, calls it “New York & Railway”. Good to see the editors and reporters do their homework.

Outstanding photos, everyone! A couple of questions... 1. There’s a few pics of a G5s #38 that looks as if it were on display. I thought only #’s 35 and 39 were set aside. Was 38 taken elsewhere or was it displayed on LI and then scrapped or sold or whatever? 2. The FA’s originally had a door on the...

Got it. Thanks JamesRR!

I’m so confused. Why are they turning the Farley building into “Moynihan”? Is that going to be for NJ Transit and / or Amtrak? Or is it going to be for LIRR in addition to Penn Station?

Priceless info, as always! I don’t know if you’re on Facebook or not, but on the “Long Island History” group, someone posted pictures of the Manorville station a couple of months ago. They originally posted them as negative images, but a couple of people Photoshopped them and made them positives. Th...

Thanks for the info, fellas (Dutch and Kelly).

So I’m guessing that a “center sill” is like the frame of a car or a keel of a ship? It’s the “spine” to the structure?

Just out of curiosity... Yes, I know that these cars will be parked in a yard for a while but... I’ve seen a ton of pictures of the wrecked 7425. Is it eventually salvageable? I mean, other than cannibalized for parts, etc... Would it and could it conceivably be “fixed” (as in like when an automobil...

Interesting. Thanks for the info Uncle Cheapo!

Today (1/19/19), we’ve noticed a bit of a strange occurrence on the Central Branch immediately west of where the old South Farmingdale Station used to be. This morning around 11, a long freight train passed through. Then, while at my daughter’s dance class, we heard the train pass another two times....

When did the MP72’s / MP75’s have their traction motors removed and converted to diesel territory only passenger cars? Was it when they refurbished them in the mid-80s or when the M1’s came on line?

How about resurrecting Port Jeff to Wading River? Population has exploded out there since the 1930s and congestion is getting pretty heavy. A majority of the line’s footprint is still there, albeit now a part of LIPA’s (or PSEG) equipment.

While viewing pictures of the KO double track project, I can't help but notice some of the tracks literally look like squiggly lines. Is this just part of the building process and there’s a certain machine that rolls over the rails to straighten them out? I know some of these pictures are taken with...

Commute every day and you'll see the necessity. So, a resounding YES. END OF STORY. People and businesses bought their properties adjoining railroad tracks... What do they expect? What's next, stop running trains because it's too noisy?

Any preserved anywhere in the world?
