Great as always, Lenny. Does your filename mean rare for you to be there or, in your experience, rare for that equipment to be there?
Rare for ME to be there! I very rarely ever got to the south shore. The one time I did, the engineer was a friend of my Dad's, so I got a cabride in a GP38-2 all the way to Montauk from Patchogue. I'll be swabbed in shinola if I can find any of the pics though. I still have to go through all my negatives before I send them to Dave Keller, maybe some will be in there.  Oh, yeah, here's today's pic. |

Thanks for the Carman's River shot. I've always wanted to shoot there, but was apprehensive due to all of the MTA PD warning signs posted on River Rd.

I always thought that part was through a public trail, seemed perfectly legal to be down there, and the rivers clean enough to wade in barefoot  403 at Eastport. |

How about the scoot taken from the Pilot house of the Lehigh Valley tugboat "Cornell"?  |

This is one of my earliest photos, when I first started taking pictures. I had a hand-me-down 127mm (or some other really odd sized film) instamatic camera. This is the old feed building/store on the siding at St James, with the train heading westbound towards the Northern Blvd crossing. I wish I had waited just an extra fraction of a second to catch more of the front of the train, as this one was a rare doubleheader, with the then new (to the LIRR, anyway) F-7 619 behind the GP38-2. This was taken around August of 1979, and the feed store burnt down around 2 or 3 years after this picture was taken.

  See the resemblance? Al Bunker Soundy. Bunker was his middle name. |
