New Jersey Transit GG1 4884 somewhere in or around New York City, New York on an unknown day in June 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I was on a business trip and this was shot with the company camera, so I didn't mark the slide correctly. Tom Beckett commented: That's Long Island City. The station to the right of the G is LIRR Hunterspoint Avenue.

One of the joys of riding trains in the hand me down days of the 60s and 70s was that there were still a lot of cars that had been cast off from long distance trains. Most of these had dutch doors, which you were permitted to ride in, though Im sure the practice was officially frowned on. Riding in the vesibule did give a great view, such as this from a New York bound train, of a Bay Head train behind a GG 1.
