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. |

Monkey in the middle |
| Description: |
The LIRR was not your typical freight carrier. Their focus was primarily commuters, and they are the busiest commuter road in the US, with 90% of their revenue coming from passengers. Their freight operations were largely an afterthought under the MTA, and could get kind of odd. One such unusual practice was running power mid train. This facilitated switching facing point customer sidings, of which there were quite a few. Thus we find RF 7 with C 420 227 working from the middle as it passes Jamaica station on one of the bypass tracks south of track 8. |

Conrail box |
| Description: |
When I took this in 1978, just two years after Conrail startup, anything painted full CR was still something of a novelty, as there was an awful lot of equipment that was in patch paint. This fully painted CR 60 foot box was on the LIRR RF 7 job rolling on the bypass track to the south of track 8 at Jamaica station, headed for Holban. |

Per diem car |
| Description: |
Because of the per diem rules concerning railroad equipment in force at the time, some short lines had large fleets of cars that were essentially free runners, and didnt come home much, a lot like Railbox, only owned by a particular road. Middletown & New Jersey was one such road. They had a very short main line in Orange County NY, and little on line traffic, but a large group of these box cars, which could be seen everywhere. This one was passing Jamaica station on the LIRR, bound for Holban Yard on RF 7, the west end job that handled traffic from Sunnyside Yard A to various points on the west end of the railroad, working as directed. A bonus is the EL box right behind. Always good to see EL represented!! |

New Look |
| Description: |
But not for long. The Rock Island had been in bankruptcy since 1964, and by this time was on its last legs. In the mid 70s, a new management team had started a rebranding of the road, now "The Rock", and started painting everything in this blue paint scheme. It was like putting lipstick on a cow, dressing up the look, but it didnt hide the decay underneath. One of the new look gons in eastbound on RF 7 passing Jamaica station. |

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. |
