Bicentenial LIRR GP38-2s

Rolling some where west of Ronconkoma.

Paul if the milepost is 48 your looking at the Smithtown Ave overpass. Just two minutes out of Ronkonkoma Station. Nice Shot. Bill

Nice shot!!!

Thanks for the info. I took these many years ago with out the forsight to lable when and where. Oh well, youth is waisted on the young.

Paul,

Thanks for a great picture to download.
I always found the time to stop and be impressed when I saw GP-38(s) in the red, white, and blue Bicentennial scheme.
Little did I know that a few years later, I would be working for the LIRR, and, briefly (while an Electrician Apprentice), working on the Geeps!

I sure do miss that scheme! Thanks for posting that!

Greetings,
Here's a little nostalgia in V scale.

How about some pictures of Bicentennial Alco C420's, 222-229?

I don't recall seeing red white and blue L-2s, or if they did it would have been post 1978 and by that time I was in the service and off Long Island. I do recall seeing a red MTA logo on them, if thats what you are reffering to.

Greetings,
Here's a shot of ALCO L2 #224 circa 1980, photo by George Hunka.

Wow, NICE Photo!!! That must have been some freight to need 10,000 H.P!!! ( 5 Century-420's) Where would a freight of that size go on LIRR, the Yard on the Central Branch to get sorted?
