H-86 with one car less than yesterday's version...............by me at Prospect Park Sta.
As a caveat: the reason Prospect Park Station has always been my favorite spot is because not only is it very well LIT, but also it's top of the grade
coming up from BALDWIN interlocking. So it really is the best station to watch freight trains at from HOOK to PHIL.
