Some Random LIRR Photos

I remember ridin those things....

My family and I used to take the train from Port Jeff - Smithtown "Just for fun" and walk around Smithtown, eat dinner, and play a couple games of bowling at the alley by the Smithtown station before taking the train back home. It was one of our summer family activities every now and then. I used to like standing with my dad on the platform of the old coaches right behind the lead diesel. Good memories lol....

Wonderful Pictures, spent 30 years of my life riding that equipment. I know the bi-levels are more comfortable, but it was more fun working the old equipment.

This train was unusual on account of the two parlor cars.

I have a lot of old LIRR on VHS tape... What am I going to do?

Should I try to transfer them to DVD? or put them on youtube?

I still have some prints I haven't scanned yet.

269 leads an eastbound at Queens Village.


The train is leaving the station.

I am out of LIRR photos! I will try to get around to scanning some more.

I Love to See Some of Your Videos that be cool

I enjoyed your photos. Keep'em coming!

Yea, we haven't done it since the bi-level coaches entered service, so this was a while ago lol. My littlest sister still holds it over my head that she got to "ride the double decker" because I have never been on one of the bi-levels. Everythime I'm supposed to I wind up missing the train and have to drive to a different station where it's always an M3 or M7 lol

Great photos... thanks very much for sharing.

It's fairly easy and inexpensive to get your VHS videos transferred to DVD. They'll last a lot longer, too!

What if I have 8mm VIDEO, and it's not Hi8, can I find someone to transfer the six hours of tape for me?


This photo will never be repeated. I was on the open vestibule behind 266, and for some reason, I shot a picture of rush hour traffic on Northern Boulevard.

Mineola.

And now some photos of the C1's:





Completely different than the C3's we see today! Photo's were taken November 1996.

How many C-1's are in service?

At this time there are no longer any C1's in service. There were ten C1's in their heyday, but the voltage was different. It was decided that it would cost too much to re-wire the C1's than it was worth.

were the C1s sold, or were they just given away?
