What happened to the LIRR FL9s?

I was able to get some nice shots of these engines plus some video. Here's a couple from the railpictures.net that I took.

can you post the video

Sorry but the video is on VHS tape so I can't do it.

got any more pictures

John 61,

I have a DVD Burner and can Bump the tape to DVD for you if you want. hey atleast you will have multipal copies, and if the VHS takes a dump you still have it on DVD. I also suggues to do the same to any one who is married and and has there wedding video on VHS. Once its to DVD its also much eaiser to make dubs.

RMLI cant get their paws on one of these before their day or reckoning? too bad...

Why would RMLI even consider one of these junkers? They're not original to LIRR. There's no historical value as they have been completely rebuilt. They were a mechanical nightmare and barely ran the short time they were here. Plus the only cars that are compatable with them recently left the Island. No the best thing for these turds is scrapping. RMLI has little availalble space and it should be saved for more significant pieces.

My opinion - the only FL9's that should be preserved should be in McGinnis red, white, and black, and labelled New Haven.
There is one in MN paint at the Westchester Children's Medical Center. Looks good, too.
