Everyone: 4/2 and PF have the correct locations of the three photos:
1-Looking westward at Hicksville from the west end of Platform B
2-MP15 151 with three 2900 series coaches and snowplow Jaws 3 at Ronkonkoma.
"Jaws" is now displayed at Greenport RMLI in the pictured color scheme.
3-Springfield Gardens Station being finally put out of its misery back in the 80s.
The location where SG Station was can be still noted by the track separation.
The two new pictures:
1: Pine-Aire on the former curved Hills siding on the north side of the Main Line.
This is now an NYA freight track - NYA locomotives are laid up there at times.
2-This grade crossing location is tough to identify but judging by the two lanes
this looks to be either Second Street in Brentwood or Carll's Straight Path in
Deer Park along with the poles, tree growth and third rail protection board visible.
Other crossings in the area such as Fifth Avenue in Brentwood are either much wider
with multiple traffic lanes crossing the LIRR or do not have the surrounding foliage.

Based on Google Street View and the electric poles/lines, Carlls Straight Path seems more likely then Second Street in Brentwood.
