Action in Garden City Yard today

Today, crossing over the G.C. Secondary on Washington Ave., I saw a headlight down the line to the east, just past Clinton Rd. I headed down that way and saw MP-15ac 157, still in blue and white, with a cut of LIRR and Norfolk Southern gondolas. I continued along and to my great surprise, the 150, fresh from it's rebuild thanks to 162 and 169, was switching the spur next to the bus terminal where the museum equipment is stored. It looks like some new additions were made to the spur's collection. Anybody know anymore about this? I could'nt linger because I had my wife and seven-month old son with me......

The cars where rearranged to allow work to be done on them more easily. The addition is a BM62 baggage/mail car the the LIRR had been using as an office in LIC. See www.lirr35.org for more info.

Nice photo, by the way how can I go about posting flicks like this?

Thanks Tommy Rails. In order to post pictures you must have a way to host them on the web. I used our website for it but you might be able to host using your ISP. I know AOL has the ability and I would assume others offer a similar function. There are free photo hosting sites but I really do not know much about them except that not all of them allow outside links to pictures, which would not let you post on boards like this.
