Clean paint |
| Description: |
It was encouraging to see LIRR still painting its FAs this late in their careers. The Ronkonkoma electrification project would open in a year, and their future was clouded. |

Clean power |
| Description: |
Well, the paint is-we all know that Alcos were heavy smokers, though by this time, these units had Caterpillar engine/generator sets installed, and were much more efficient and cleaner running. This is a Ronkonkoma train headed east. |

Blasting through |
| Description: |
Except for one morning rush train, everything that came in the Main Line from Mineola made its last stop before Jamaica at New Hyde Park, about 1/4 mile to the east. This Port Jeff train made its last stop at Mineola, and is getting a good roll on as it approaches the upgrade to Floral Park on its way to LIRRs main transfer point. |

FA old style |
| Description: |
The LIRR was in paint scheme transition in the late 1970s. They had received their new GP 38s-their first EMDs-in a blue and white scheme inspired by the Milwaukee Roads bicentennial unit. Other power was starting to make the transition, but the new scheme had not made it onto everything yet, and the FAs were still in the gray with blue stripe at the window band level. One of them is going away under the signals on an Oyster Bay train, hanging onto its old paint just a little longer. |

Late afternoon view |
| Description: |
In the late afternoon during the summer, the sun swung around to the north side of the tracks, and this angle was possible. We see an Oyster Bay train crossing Carnation Av as it rolls through Floral Park station en route to connections at Jamaica The exhaust from the generator set in the FA makes it look like it is actually powering this train. Nice thought!! |
