Project 39 trip |
| Description: |
A fantrip tobenefit Project 39 ran on June 7 1986, a woefully rainy day in the New York area. Here the train approaches Jamaica to pick up its riders for the trip out to Greenport behind a pair of C 420s with F unit 619. At the time, there were still eight C 420's left, all from the 1968 order. These had hi ad trucks, unlike the first order from 1963. Interestingly, this was not even close to a farewell. These units would carry on into the 1990's before being retired. Note the PRR style dwarf signals, as well as the "hanger" on the platform canopy. |

RF 64 has run as far east as its going to on the Port Jeff branch today, and is now running around its train to start back as RF 65. That train more often got a pair of MP 15s, but occasionally would get a pair of Alcos. Im not complaining about the substitution. |

Sign of days gone by |
| Description: |
The building behind RF 63 is the Long Island Potato Exchange, once a huge deal on the Island. As late as the 1950s, solid trains of potatoes would be sent west from Riverhead. Better roads and higher real estate values meant fewer potatoes, and most of them now go by truck. Imagine three or four C 420s and 90 cars of potatoes-what a sight!! |

End of the line |
| Description: |
The remaining 8 C 420s that had been working in freight service on the LIRR sit outside the Morris Park shops after being pulled from service following the opening of the Ronkonkoma electrification. The retirement would be short, as several would return to service, including 225 and 229, which would be repainted in the 1960s era blue and yellow MTA scheme. |
