Long Island RR New EMU Design |
| Description: |
This is an artist rendering for press release October 17, 1968 concerning the new Long Island commuter EMU's being built by the Budd Co. The press release from the Cleveland GE office (J.L. Moline) reads "The Long Island Rail Raod will take on a new look when the first of 270 electric, air-conditioned cars like these will be delivered during the Fall of 1968. Propulsion and automatic speed regulation systems supplied by General Electric will play a major role in maintaining a high level of passenger comfort and efficiency on the high-speed commuter cars. The addition of these sleek, stainless-steel, 100-mph cars to the nation's most heavily traveled commuter line will mark a new level of service for Long Island commuters, according to officials of the Metropolitan Commuter Trasnportation Authority of New York, operators of the Long Island Rail Road. The cars are being built by The Budd Co." J.L. Moline |

Inbound from Ronkonkoma |
| Description: |
I moved away from the NY area in mid 1988, and did not get a lot of action on the newly electrified Ronkonkoma trains. Hard to tell apart from all the other MUs at this location, but this is one of the Ronkonkoma trains rolling past Bellerose and toward Penn Station with a typical set of cars. One of the oldest M 1's leads. Spring is upon the Island, as th flowers are in bloom and the trees are still in their bright green stage. |

Old and new |
| Description: |
A couple of MP 54 museum cars had been painted by a group on the Island, and they had prevailed on the LIRR to store them. For a time in 1977, they were at Port Washington, pushed back into one of the storage tracks there. Since the LIRR needed all the capacity they had there, the regular cars were put into the same track, giving us this odd juxtaposition. It was not the first time I had seen such a combination, though. In the early years of the M 1s, there were frequent failures, and it was not unheard of for a train of MP 54s or MP 72s to be coupled to a disabled train of M 1s to push them to destination. |

MUs in the snow |
| Description: |
We didnt get a lot of snow on the Island due to proximity to the ocean, which tended to keep the temperatures a little more moderate than inland. Thus, it was not all that common to get snow shots. That winter we had a few storms, which yielded this shot of a Huntington train approaching Bellerose in a snowy scene. |

New equipment |
| Description: |
Well, the cars are not new, but the fact that MU trains are now coming to Ronkonkoma is the best news for Suffolk county commuters since the Port Jeff branch was electrified to Huntington in 1970. This allows riders on the Main Line to avoid the infamous change at Jamaica. This westbound is about to accommodate that wish, ready to depart the new station. |
