ID this Location? Signature?

MOW Gon #6064 truck repair/replacement in Jamaica Yard 4/17/1999

Where in Jamaica/Morris Park is this? The signature on back, any ideas?

Hey Steve,


To me, it looks like Holban Yard (looking towards St. Albans)


- No 3rd Rail
- Variety of Freight Equipment
- Very tight clearance in between tracks
- Light fixtures on the right for the Holban Yard Parking Lot?

That was taken from the LIST fan trips. One of the last 2 ran with the legacy equipment.
I believe we had a lunch brake in Holban which is where this was photographed.
This would have been after we returned the hacks to Holban and before we went to BK.

Anyone got a better pic of that tank car? It’s painted red now.

Here's one of several: at

Trip of April 17, 1999 with #5000 in red, so the picture has #5001 prior to re-paint (in black)?

LIRR #5000

I vaguely remember those cars in black. Is there any pictures Of them before Lirr modified them into fire tankers.

Workextra , et al.: Yes, here we go:

They were modified after the big fire in '95, and then IIRC they went to Metro-North to become part of their "Water Works" fleet, sometime not too long after 1999.
