Did the LIRR press the NYA's fleet into service clearing the lines of snow during/after the storm on Thursday?

The LIRR Darth Vader snow plow is OOS at this time due to a car slamming into it out in KO yard. I'm not sure if the LIRR will be using the Geeps from NYA for plowing the snow east of KO. A foot of snow is not a lot of snow so the DEs can probably handle it maybe a 1500 if you are lucky.

Did the LIRR commandeer the NYA's GP38-2's to clear the tracks?

The MTA posted a picture on Facebook of Darth working in Mattituck.
