I had only 15 minutes for train-watching at Mineola today, 11.6.2019. First came a 4-car train to Oyster Bay, #554 at 3:15 p.m., crawling into Mineola presumably because of restrictive diverting route. Next came one of my favorite LIRR trains, #2772, six cars at 3:19 p.m., with the announcement "Next stop, Babylon." Thirty or so boarded the five cars of this Patchogue train. Next announced was a Huntington train, but it surely didn't sound like one. Growling and tugging were two MP-15's and 19 cars of what looked like clean ballast. It did not stop for passengers. The Huntington electric was behind.

There is an eastbound whistle W near the hospital bridge. Presumably it will no longer be needed. Get a photo!
