FA to Oyster Bay |
| Description: |
An Oyster Bay train takes to the branch, this FA trailing, as was common in those days. Former "zip" car 2716 is first out behind the FA. These were originally MP 75's, acquired for the 1964/65 World's Fair, and were painted in the blue with orange stripe scheme, lettered "Your steel thruway to the Fair gateway." They were converted to diesel hauled cars after the M 1's arrived between 1968 and 72. There were a few that still had their lit nuberboards on the side, even at this late date. |

Train 254 with MP 15 163 leading goes past the old Deer Park station en route to the end of its run in Ronkonkoma. The station here is no longer in use for passengers, having been supplanted by the new high level station built as part of the Ronkonkoma electrification. It will be kept for the freight crews and MOW. |

An Oyster Bay train has made its stop at Mineola and the MP 15 on the east end is now pushing to a connection with the rest of the world at Jamaica. This was standard power for some trains on that line in the 80s. Note the parlor just ahead of the diesel. This was the train set that had the subscription car for the high end commuters on it, now returning to Jamaica. |

Wishful thinking |
| Description: |
A pair of FAs is coupled elephant style at the Morris Park shop, probably dreaming of the days when theyd go out like this on heavy freight. Ah, the memories!! Note the coupler on 105. This is one of the Harold protect engines, along with 101. They are fitted with couplers that will mate with the M 1 and M 3 cars, and are stationed at Harold Tower in LI City, to fetch a disabled MU train should it be necessary. The pair would shortly be repainted in a dark gray/orange scheme, a 1960's retro paint job that was quite attractive on them. |

Out behind the barn |
| Description: |
This FA has been pushed off into exile, where the dead power winds up. Dont know if this unit ever ran again-it looks like it had a fire. There were a few that disappeared for a while-sometimes months-only to show up again later. By this time, all four of the ex MILW and B&O F units were running, and the more marginal FAs were going into storage. The completion of the electrification to Ronkonkoma would spell the end for a number of these classics in a few months. |

New station |
| Description: |
As the Ronkonkoma electrification project nearedcompletion, some of the stations were finished and ready to enter service. As this happened, trains began stopping at the new platforms and the old ones were removed from service. One such place was Bethpage, where the new station is in use, though the official opening is still three months off. This group of home bound commuters undoubtedly appreciated the improvement. |

North side view |
| Description: |
The area around 2nd St and Willis Av in Mineola was bounded on two sides by the LIRR Main Line and the Oyster Bay branch. The railroad used it for storage, and just about anything could turn up there. It did not make for a scenic photo, and was on the "dark side" most of the day anyway. The light wasnt too bad this day, and I caught the GP 38 class unit leading a Ronkonkoma train past Nassau Tower-seen above the next to last car of the train-on its way east. |

MP 15 leading |
| Description: |
Oyster Bay trains in the off hours tended to have light ridership. This resulted in them having short consists, and often had MP 15s for power, rather than the GP 38s that most of the other lines saw for power. An Oyster Bay train is rolling east at New Hyde Park as it makes its way to its next stop in Mineola. |

Bring on the snow |
| Description: |
A major snowfall was predicted for this day-the NY area got over 14"-and many places let their employees out early, including mine. Instead of going home like any sensible person, I went out to shoot train pictures. As the storm was getting started, I caught this Oyster Bay train blasting through New Hyde Park. By 6 PM, things would be thoroughly bogged down in the snow. |
