This was a LIST trip on June 2, 2007 that ran from Pond down the Bay Ridge to 65th Street. Power was the 159/151 with NYA’s P72.

The coach was sold to Catskill Mountain in 2013 and now the hack covers any trips such as this.

Other helpful giveaways are the details of the locomotives; the 154 has ditchlights (the vast majority of the fleet got them in 1997 ahead of the mandate) and the 271 still has not yet received its Diesel Dan horn mod, which happened before it had ditchlights added in 1997. That said… I own this sli...

If the information about its former GMTX number is correct, it’s the 257.

One Rocco more or less isn’t worth dying for!

The two HLCX de-turboed GP40s (GP38-3s) Brookhaven initially leased are long gone, and long missed. BRT now uses a Railserve LEAF genset.

The C-3 cabs were delivered with the same Leslie RS2M two chimes that the M-3s and M-7s have, which sound(ed) differently from one another for a variety of reasons. The Leslies didn't last long after delivery, and eventually were replaced with the equally unpleasant sounding Nathan K13B two chimes o...

The second shot with the BAR boxcar was taken at Sea Cliff, with the E15 on the team track.

Nice list. Some corrections/updates: C-60: Restoration completed in late 2008/early 2009, moved to Transit Museum in April 2009. C-66: Restoration completed by Blue Ridge Restoration 3/1997. Didn't get refreshed until early 2016 or so, with the dedication added a little later. Still in service earli...

You’re a year late; the laser M3 set went to Port Jefferson last year.

Nobody remembers NYA’s tunnel motor?

452, it's always a treat to see shots from back in the day. Thanks.

Or the FL9s. Similar story to the E8s, both were brought in to test bilevel equipment for a short amount of time, and the two locomotives which visited from each class were scrapped. There's a difference between 2 weeks of service as leased units (Metra E8s) and 5 years of service as owned units (L...

Lease service along with the rest of the non-NYA units. LLPX 2234, now GMTX 2265.

Eastport Feeds in Eastport, and Pulver Gas in Bridgehampton. Lumber went to Southampton pretty late in the LIRR game, but I don’t recall if NYA served them.

No problem.

There's some bad juju with brand new class units. The 100 hit the dirt drilling in LIC, so early that the EMD paint must have still been wet..
