LI 215 |
Description: |
Westbound from Montauk to Jamaica. Please excuse the less-than-sharp photo, but this was the only time I ever shot two LIRR C420s with the long hoods coupled together. Short hoods together was common, but not this arrangement. Train has nine ping pongs, a parlor car and a baggage car on the rear. |
