271 was idling on the fuel pad in Morris Park as of 0200hrs on 3/17. The four new axles are installed successfully. The plates on the sides of the axles say Progressive Rail Corp, built 2/06 so they are brand new. Only thing is that an amateur must have put the brake shoes on since they are cracked through to the back...

Lots of new happenings at Fresh Pond today. Just as I arrived at the Otto Road gates, the crane was pulling in right in front of me. Pretty cool operation. They lifted up the 270, took out the front truck, replaced it with the new one, wyed the engine and did the same thing with the rear truck. I kept snapping pictures of the 270, but my eye was on the female shop mechanic...DAMN!

101 is back from the dead(line). Back in service as of last night. Had its leaf springs changed out.
Only 155 and 9321 are left to be revived.

Let's get the remaining Dead unit's revived and then paint them one at a time. Atleast then there would be no major repairs to worry about.
Any hope in NYA doing a geep in grey and orange with a reworked dan and replaceing "long island" with "New York & Atlantic.

Why paint it grey and orange? Get real dude! The NY&A guys are probably laughing their heads off reading that.
Yeah for real bro, your ideas are way out there, never will remotely happen...................ever!! LMAO

Ah, then again, if Home Depot suddenly ran a special on grey and orange paint...
32 x 5 = 160. However, R32 divided by 5 = R160
I know it's un realistic, Im just posting it to be humorous, I like the new scheme as on 156, when they're ready they can paint them, it's not my RR. I just want to be humorous and creative. If nya woud have considdered it, it would put the LI to shame that the "freight" road is useing their "true" paint scheme. 
If you don't want a laugh oh well, it's not my problem.
End of that discuession.

I gotta admit though, it would be pretty cool for NY&A to repaint one or two of their engines in old LIRR paint jobs. Heck, I've seen lots of photos of the MNRR FL9s painted New Haven...and they even have a couple of P42s painted NH. Also, was it MNRR or NJT that had an FL9 painted New York Central?
