Long ride done
Title:  Long ride done
Description:  A train from Jamaica has completed the 100 mile trip from Jamaica, now arriving at the farthest east place on the LIRR behind a pair of just delivered GP 38s in their original paint scheme. Most of the riders have detrained in the Hamptons, but a few hardy souls made the full run to weekend here at the end of the island.

4012 with 2
Title:  4012 with 2
Description:  A pair of GP 38s lead 4012, as is typical til late October. Even though the summer weekender and vacation season officially ends on Labor Day, many rider still take advantage of the parlor cars til late October. The railroad accomodates these travelers by running the cars til the weather gets too cold for the beach.

4012 from a different perch
Title:  4012 from a different perch
Description:  I typically would go to Bellerose on Sunday, since it had the best viewing platform for trains on the Main Line. Occasionally Id go elsewhere, such as todays stop at Queens Village. We see 4012 behind the usual pair of GP 38s passing the Queens Village team yard west of the station. It will blow through the station, then bounce through Queens interlocking on its way to Hicksville and Montauk via the Central Branch.
