  • Gorgeous weather throughout the weekend, beckoned me trackside to catch the final runs of some of the Montauk trains.  You will hear horn action of all kinds, some great, some bad, some laughable. Long trains are seen and the weekend concludes with a hot Labor Day. On this day the railroad was not so fluid thanks to a pedestrian fatality around Elmont with train #6008. That equipment was delayed in getting to Montauk as a deadhead causing delays to other trains. At the end, you will see an abnormally long #6021 with 11 cars making his last run. That train normally has 4 cars but since it took so long for this #6008 equipment to reach Montauk against the heavy westbound traffic, this was all that was left for #6021.

    Why did the LIRR elect to go with the EMD DM30AC as opposed to the P42’s? They, on the contrary, seem to be more ubiquitous, with even MetroNorth going with them. Any thoughts or insight? As an aside, the upcoming Siemens are an esthetic abomination!
