I have some photos of the trip. I was on it. No video. I bought my first video camera about a month after that trip. It was a rainy day. I will post some photos.
I was on the November '86 trip. Is was disappointing- power was two MP-15ac's.
Searching for the eagles of the XVII,XVIII & XIX Legions in Germania.
I was on a trip that was billed as the last passenger run for the C420s. It ran to Montauk. On the return trip we broke down in Amagansett and took the siding east of the station to wait a rescue engine.
Anyone else remember that trip?

Anyone else remember that trip?I had been told this was the Farewell Trip for the C420s. Sept. 10th, 1989. But, perhaps others can verify the last passenger run for the C420s trip to Montauk with the breakdown?

Thank you for the responses to this subject, I do t recall hearing about another C420 trip after the Sept 89 one. I do have a video of this trip, however it’s in VHS format.

What bothers me the most about the L2's is the retirement, sale to Naparano and then nobody stepped forward to purchase these perfectly operable, bargain, ALCO's. Consequently, they got cut up with thousands of miles in service still on them.
I think three L1's still exist, though not all in service.

What did the French conductor say after his train derailed ?
Too Loose La Track.

That is Medford, crossing the Rt. 112 bridge. The person with his left hand on the chain is Don Bender, former RFE. RIP Don.

Excellent photos!!! Thanks for posting.
I didn't want to post all my photos of the trip so I made a short Youtube video of the event. I also just found another 8 slides I took on the trip and will make another slideshow after I scan the slides.
