RF extra
Title:  RF extra
Description:  A single MP 15 rolls east through Hicksville station with a handful of cars. RF 65 has just passed through in the opposite direction, so this train is not the return of RF 65 to the south shore. LIRR freight operations could be confusing at times. This is one of them!! MP 15's were the common power for the outlying locals at the time. The RS 3's were gone about three years at this point, and the remaining C 420's were on the "road" trains from Yard A to the east end, and sometimes still held down a commuter run.

Freight power
Title:  Freight power
Description:  The power for the freights running from Holban Yard often sat out on a ready track along the main line. At that time, C420s were the usual power on the road trains, with MP15s handling the lighter work. Heres a pair of Centuries and an MP15 waiting for their next trip east in the evening.

Track 4
Title:  Track 4
Description:  Sometimes the LIRR would run the circus train across to track 1 at Queens, as it runs the Main Line to Harold, where Amtrak power takes over. Today, the movement director has decided to run it on track 4, since it will go to Yard A, and not be handed off to Amtrak. It will take the freight bypass tracks on the south side of Jamaica station, then run the Montauk Branch, entering Sunnyside Yard A to back down to the old staging yard for the LI City ferry. There it will spot the cars for unloading.
