Surfs Up
Title:  Surfs Up
Description:  After painting GP 38-2 252 with a red stripe when delivered to honor the Bicentennial, the LIRR later thought it would apply the scheme to all its GP38s, calling it "Surfs Up." Here we see the unit that would later be named in honor of LIRR president Walter Schlager in that scheme. To the left is LIRR 105, one of the Harold Protect units, that carried adapter couplers to pull MU trains out of the East River tunnel if needed. It would later get a retro dark gray and orange scheme reminiscent of the 1950's and 60's, complete with a Dashing Dan herald.
