ALCOs on the Island

Description

“Out on the Island” – To New Yorkers, that means “Long Island.” And, unless you want to be stuck in heavy, slow traffic, getting there means riding the Long Island Rail Road. That means riding one of the LIRR’s ubiquitous multiple unit trains, perhaps transferring at Jamaica to a diesel powered train. In the sixties, that would have been an ALCO diesel powered train. Ride MP-54, MP-70, MP-72 and M-1 MU’s and behind ALCO C420’s, RS-3’s, RS-1’s and F-M C-Liner’s. Come see the best of “The Route of the Dashing Commuter.”
