Parlor car |
| Description: |
The LIRR still ran a number of parlor cars in the 80s. These were noted by their red stripe, vs blue on all other cars. Most ran on the Montauk Branch-there was an all parlor train on weekends-but there were also a couple that ran as subscription cars on the Port Jeff and Oyster Bay lines. This one is trailing 255 on an Oyster Bay train. |

Surfs up!! |
| Description: |
Long Island for a time painted their GP38s witha red stripe. The inspiration was their Bicentennial unit, 252, which was painted that way when it arrived in 1976. Eventually all the big road power got the treatment, which only lasted a few years. |

One of the more obscure locations on the LIRR is Cold Spring Harbor, between Syosset and Huntington. Here we see a westbound Port Jeff train rolling through the station. This is one of the steeper grades on the LIRR, 1.4%. In steam days, even the K4's would struggle here. |

Unlike its summer counterpart, the winter edition of train 4012, which ran from Jamaica to Montauk on Sunday afternoon.!This time of year, it was usually 8 or 9 cars behind a single unit, unlike the beach season, when the consist would swell to 12 or 14 cars behind a pair of GP 38-2s, usually back to back. |

Ronkonkoma train |
| Description: |
About an hour after 4012 rolled through, this Ronkonkoma train-4252, I believe-came east with a more standard set of a single GP 38, six or seven cars, and an FA(most of the time). Always fun to watch it bounce through the switches at Queens. In the background, RF 57 heads down the middle track toward Jamaica and Fresh Pond. |

Long train for winter |
| Description: |
Train 4012 was the mid day Sunday Montauk train, and usually ran long, as it was used to position equipment to accommondate returning weekenders. In winter it had no parlors, but could still run ten cars. We see it passing the station as it runs full out for Hicksville and the Central Branch. |
