In the midst of all the hoopla surrounding the opening of the Ronkonkoma electrification, the freight work went on. RF 62 rolls east past the station behind the usual C 420s. |

No more action |
| Description: |
Or maybe there will be. A pair of C 420s rendered surplus sit behind the shop at Morris Park. At this point, their future looks dim, but the Centuries will rise again, and have an indian summer for a few years before finally going to scrap. Note the other equipment stashed with the Alcos-a cupola caboose, a box car, and a retire B 60 baggage car. I can recall seeing these on some east end trains in the 1960's. |

RF 65 |
| Description: |
RF 65 heads west toward Hicksville behind a pair of C 420s. When LIRR started building high level platforms at all its stations, it also built pedestrian overpasses, which opened up photo angles previously not available. Here, Im taking advantage of the the new overpass to get this panoramic view of Kings Park on the Port Jeff branch. |

Still working both sides |
| Description: |
A C420 is in the midst of its train on RF 7, passing Jamaica station, as a passenger train passes behind another C 420. By this time, the LIRR had all of its 28 GP38-2s in service, and it was becoming unusual to see an Alco on a passenger train. This was quite a catch. |

| Description: |
Even after the GP 38's were delivered in 1977, some trains, notably on the Oyster Bay branch, still continued to get Centuries. Here 224 in the "Surf's Up" scheme has a Jamaica bound train. |

Work train |
| Description: |
In June 1984, there was a washout on the Port Washington Branch about 1/2 mile east of Little Neck, which closed the line for a couple of weeks while the repairs were made. These C 420s brought the work train out and were parked at Douglaston station, a very unusual circumstance. View is from the Douglaston Parkway overpass. |

| Title: |
RF 91 |
| Description: |
RF 91 was the overnight westbound freight from Pine Aire to Fresh Pond, using the power that had been on RF 63 from Riverhead. Besides doing the road haul, it also worked at Hiucksville and did local switching en route. Tonights train has an MP 15 leading, which occasionally happened if there was not a C 420 ready. Its about 0300, and the train is working the siding east of New Hyde Park on the westbound side, requiring the train to stop in the station while the switch is lined. I took advantage of the stop to get a shot. |
