Late news |
Description: |
Many stations in that era had newsstands, such as this one at Woodside. They were often open til late in the evening. Dad caught the action of a typical night on an LIRR station. |

Model Pacific |
Description: |
Dad had this Buddy L engine and tender from when he was a kid. It was still around when my brothers and me were in our teens. Wed light off leaves in the fire box-which, to our surprise, actually worked-though it would not steam. It made for an interesting exercise in semi reality. |

Roster shot |
Description: |
A roster photo of the Buddy L pacific my dad had as a kid. I could never figure out a likely railroad for it-Im not that knowledgeable about steam-but obviously not PRR, or Reading, judging by the firebox. It was a cool model. Id still have it, but someone stole it from my house about 15 years ago. |

Rainy night |
Description: |
You can almost hear the rain falling in this view looking east at Manhasset. A stop and proceed signal cuts through the gathering gloom in the distance. The building at left is the old post office. I can recall seeing MPB 54s leading eastbound trains here, the conductor tossing off mail bags to the platform on the lower level back in the 60s. |

Old station |
Description: |
I dont know the story on this car outside the old NYC station in downtown Syracuse. Dad was up for his 20th college reunion, and must have eaten here. Behind the restaurant is the old NYC station, which was on Erie Blvd. The passenger line was abandoned in the mid 50s, and the station was moved out to Dewitt Yard, where it remained for another 40 years til the new station was built at Carousel Mall. This station was the Greyhound depot at that time. |

Light station in the dark |
Description: |
For the first ten or so years I lived in Little Neck, the station was red. At some point in the mid 70s, the LIRR decided to repaint, {iving us this white with green trim scheme that actually doesnt look too bad. Dad caught it while waiting for a train one night. |

Old sign |
Description: |
In the 1970s, the MTA had not yet consolidated all its operations. Metro North was still Penn Central, and the LIRR, while under MTA auspices since 1965, still retained a lot of its own identity. The standardization of things like station signs was still in the future. Dad was waiting at Douglaston one night in 1975 and took a moment to record what was at the time a typical sight. Now all signs are in the standard MTA typeface that started out on the NYCTA. |

FA |
Description: |
Dad was not really a railfan, but hed shoot a photo of anything that struck him. During our two weeks in 1975, we caught this FA about to roll out on a westbound train from Montauk. The engineer on the train didnt want the aging cab unit, so he moved the Precision GP 9 to the west end of the train and coupled it ahead of the Alco, much to his crews dismay. |

Long distance |
Description: |
Montauk in the 70s was also a good place to catch hand me down long distance cars cast off in the 60s as the railroads gave up on their long haul trains. Many wound up on the Long Island from places like the B&M and KCS. Here are a pair of cars, one stainless, one flat side, sitting at Montauk in the late evening. |

Yard track |
Description: |
The yard tracks at Montauk were in about as good shape as they ever were in the mid 70s. What is interesting about the yard is the drain lines for the toilets-note the yellow pipes-since at least some of the cars had retention toilets at this point. There were also electric hook ups, though most of the parlor cars ran on battery power. This allowed for climate control, among other things, to be ready for riders when the trains were ready to depart for New York. |

Mood shot |
Description: |
Dad liked a good mood shot, and devoted a farr amount of effort to the task. This one is of an M 1 train approaching Little Neck on the Port Washington Branch. My parents divorced in 1974; dad had us(two younger brothers and me) every Sunday, and for two weeks in the summer. We piled up a lot of riding time on the LIRR to Penn, since dad lived on 34th St at the time. This was taken on a Sunday in 1976 of a westbound. |

Description: |
While in Washington in August 1976, we rode the then new DC Metro, which had all of six stops open on ther Red Line. The end of service at the time was Rhode Island Av, which was on an elevated viaduct. The platform gave a view of a B&O yard, in which, far down into the yard, a B&O geep is switching. |

Museum pieces |
Description: |
These two MP 54s had been restoped to their original Tuscan paint, the intention being to go to the Long Island RR museum, which was still in its infancy. They were stored at Port Washington for some reason/ an unusual place for such things, since anything the LIRR wanted to keep an eye on was usually at Morris Park or Shea Stadium. Dad and I found them on a Sunday in May. |

Unloading the paper |
Description: |
Its unusual to see photos of cars getting loaded or unloaded, as most of us dont have access to the places where that happens. My dad worked for the N Y Times from 1957 to 1995, some of that time in the paper lab, and about 20 years in purchasing. He would often visit the plant where the Sunday Times was printed. For about 20 years, that was at a plant in Carlstadt NJ, on the ex EL New Jersey & New York-NJ Transit calls it the Pascack Valley Line. They could take 11 cars at an indoor dock. Here we see one of the clamp trucks taking a roll of newsprint-about 1800 lbs-and putting it on the conveyor to the printing floor. Note the two cars to the rear, and how the rolls of paper are stacked. These are 60 foot cars, which could handle 72 rolls of paper, if I recall. |

Boston connection |
Description: |
When the LIRR was built in the mid 1830s, it was intended to be part of a through route to Boston, with a middle leg from here to New London Ct via steamship. That plan was dashed when the New Haven opened up the Connecticut coast in 1857. The pier at Greenport remains, fenced off and unused. |

Coming and going |
Description: |
The Port Washington Branch was double track as far as Great Neck, where it went to single for the remainder of the trip to Port Washington. The schedule was set up so that trains would meet at Little Neck. Most of the time, it worked. Here we have the New York bound train making its stop as the eastbound approaches the station. All is well. |

Title: |
Off the train |
Description: |
There a numerous shots of the Ringling Bros train, in my collection and elsewhere. We dont typically see the wagons once off the train. Dad caught several outside Madison Square Garden in New York. They would reach here either by staging at an old LIRR float bridge yard in Long Island City and going through the Midtown Tunnel, or staging in Jersey, coming through the Lincoln Tunnel. The train got from Long Island, where the circus usually played first, to Jersey via a convoluted route that involved LIRR, Amtrak, and Conrail. |

Classic bridge, different view |
Description: |
Dad was always looking for a new angle, and would shoot a photo just because he thought the view was interesting. One such example is here, a long distance view the classic steel arch span of Hell Gate Bridge, seen from La Guardia airport. |
