Switching |
| Description: |
RF 62 often did extensive switching at Riverhead where there were several sidings and an active team track. Here the power backs down to a hitch with a boxcar as the rest of the train sits on the main. This train did not have radios for the crews, and all moves were coordinated by hand signals. |

RF 7 west |
| Description: |
RF 7 works on the Montauk branch at Fresh Pond. We see it passing under the Conrail line from Hell Gate Bridge, where interchange traffic is exchanged between the LIRR and CR. The dwarf signal protects the connecting track from the Bay Ridge line, which curves sharply off to the left out of the picture, from trains leaving Fresh Pond yard. The train is about to pass Pond tower, and then will roll under the NYCTA Myrtle Av line, at the time the M train. |

Waiting for the board |
| Description: |
RF 11 was pulled up to the signal on track 4 at Queens to wait for traffic, not uncommon as there was a flurry of passenger trains around 1 AM every night. Todays train has three C 420s instead of the usual two. Pennsys position light signals were always interesting to watch, especially so at night. Hell get going after the Oyster Bay train clears going east. |
