4012 elephant style
Title:  4012 elephant style
Description:  Train 4012 was the weekend mid day train to Montauk. On Sunday in the summer, it was used to sent the parlors back to the east end that had been serviced in Jamaica, and usually had two units. Mostly they ran back to back. Today we see them elephant style in a departure from normal practice.

Montauk train
Title:  Montauk train
Description:  My Sunday routine was to go to Bellerose on the Main Line in the early afternoon. Bellerose was a great viewing platform, as it was an island platform on the Hempstead branch, with a good view of the main and the signals at the east end of Queens interlocking. Id arrive usually around 1215, and catch a Montauk train, a Ronkonkoma train and a couple of Oyster Bay trains, and if I was lucky, a freight behind Alcos over the next couple of hours. The Montauk train, 4012, usually had a pair of GP 38s leading. This day is true to form, with 260 leading a typically long train through Queens interlocking and out the Main Line.

Lone outpost
Title:  Lone outpost
Description:  The Main Line has some stations that seemed to be neither here nor there, and not well patronized. One such was Republic, which was once the site of a large aircraft plant. It was adjacent to NY 110, the main drag running across the Island from Huntington to Amityville, and a busy place by the 1980s, with many businesses and employers along its length, especially in the area around Melville. Yet, the LIRR handled relatively few passengers here, perhaps due to the dearth of train service in the diesel era, and a lack of good connecting public transportation. This evening rush train to Ronkonkoma is making its stop here, only a few will get off.

Description:  A pair of GP 38-2s roll Montauk train 4012 east past the Bellerose platform. This was one of my favorite trains to catch here. With its two units in the summer, it looked like a ig time train.
