Does anyone know whatever happenned to Railfan Day? Not sure which Railroad was the prime sponsor, but I do recall that LIRR, NYCH and SBK would bring out the engines, run trains in the street and show folks how they make up trains in Bush yard.
In years past there was usually photo coverage of this event in RailPace or Trains magazines.
I never attended (never knew the dates), but I do know some folks that attended back in the 90's. I suspect that these "Railfan Days" pre-dated the Ops of NYA.

The last one was THAT long ago?! What a bummer.....anyhow, at least I was on the last run of the D-Type subway cars that included a run over the remaining SBK trackage out to the interchange yard on 2nd Ave. The subway cars were sandwiched between the SBK engines.
