4012 elephant style |
| Description: |
Train 4012 was the weekend mid day train to Montauk. On Sunday in the summer, it was used to sent the parlors back to the east end that had been serviced in Jamaica, and usually had two units. Mostly they ran back to back. Today we see them elephant style in a departure from normal practice. |

Montauk train |
| Description: |
My Sunday routine was to go to Bellerose on the Main Line in the early afternoon. Bellerose was a great viewing platform, as it was an island platform on the Hempstead branch, with a good view of the main and the signals at the east end of Queens interlocking. Id arrive usually around 1215, and catch a Montauk train, a Ronkonkoma train and a couple of Oyster Bay trains, and if I was lucky, a freight behind Alcos over the next couple of hours. The Montauk train, 4012, usually had a pair of GP 38s leading. This day is true to form, with 260 leading a typically long train through Queens interlocking and out the Main Line. |

Lone outpost |
| Description: |
The Main Line has some stations that seemed to be neither here nor there, and not well patronized. One such was Republic, which was once the site of a large aircraft plant. It was adjacent to NY 110, the main drag running across the Island from Huntington to Amityville, and a busy place by the 1980s, with many businesses and employers along its length, especially in the area around Melville. Yet, the LIRR handled relatively few passengers here, perhaps due to the dearth of train service in the diesel era, and a lack of good connecting public transportation. This evening rush train to Ronkonkoma is making its stop here, only a few will get off. |

A pair of GP 38-2s roll Montauk train 4012 east past the Bellerose platform. This was one of my favorite trains to catch here. With its two units in the summer, it looked like a ig time train. |

Wrong main |
| Description: |
The Oyster Bay train at left is making its stop as usual on track 2. The train of M 1's is also eastbound, the two trains taking part in a dance that plays out every weekday afternoon here. The MU's are an eastbound all stops train from New York to Hicksville, which is planned to take track 1. The Oyster Bay train comes out from Jamaica on track 2, making Mineola as its first stop. While he does his station work, the MU train comes in and makes his stop. He has a stop signal on the Mineola Blvd overpass, which I am standing under. While the MU's do their work, the Oyster Bay train finishes, and takes a restricting signal to go up the branch, in front of the MU train. Once he's clear, the MU's get the signal on track 1, and resume their progress to Hicksville. Meanwhile, there are no westbound trains for about an hour while the LIRR uses both tracks eastbound between Queens and Divide. It was quite a show. |

Montauk bound |
| Description: |
I found myself in New York for my cousins wedding. Naturally, it was a chance to go back to some old haunts to check out the action. One was Bellerose, where it appeared things had not changed much in the year since I moved upstate. A pair of GP 38s rolls a long train east. Today, though, instead of the usual MP 15 power pack, there is an FA on the rear. |
