Does NYA run any trains that switch customers under the cover of darkness, or are the nighttime trains just haulers that pull trains back west to Fresh Pond from Pine Aire or Hicksville that were made up during the daylight hours?

The RS80 runs to Farmingdale around 9 or 10 PM. Their main destination is Atlantic Coastal, but they also occasionally switch Marjam Lumber or go to Wyandanch as well. The RS50 runs east in the very early morning, I don't know exactly what that train serves.
