LIRR Triple header Bliss VanIderstine 1-30-71
Photo: Richard F. Makse rfm@twinney.comVanIderstine's rendering plant in LIC was living on borrowed time in this scene of a triple header, lead by 1554,1557 and a third RS-3, passing by the plant at Greenpoint Ave. In the 60's and 70's, traffic through BLISS was sufficient to justify an operator around the clock (with two tricks on the weekends). Quite a piece of railroad back then. Both secondary tracks to LIC were still in service; passenger trains still ran to LIC; and the Navy Yard lead, Maspeth Yard and Nichols siding had plenty of business to make it serious business to keep local switchers out of the way of Yard A haulers. 6 Triplex Oil 4 7 Marilyn Warehouse 3 8 Peerless Oil & Chemical 8 9 Jacobson & Son 1 10 Shaw Walker Co. 1
LIRR Eng 208 light
Penny Bridge NY 5/74It's about 10:30 AM on May 2, 1974 and Eng 208 extras back to Morris Park for midday servicing after bringing a morning train into Long Island City. Penny Bridge was one of the last extant pure PRR standard shelters and this classic design was the architectural inspiration for the first modern era shelters that started appearing along the South Shore in the 90's.

LIRR 554 Flushing Ave Mt. Olivet
Maspeth 07-67
Photo: Richard F. MakseIt's 5:35 PM on 7/19/67 and RS-3 1557 makes light work out of its six car consist (including the heavyweight private club car Locust Valley on the head end. Flushing Avenue, later rebuilt as an undergrade crossing, once featured an interlocking tower (Olivet) to control the former trolley crossing. This is as mountain railroading as it gets on the LIRR, with a reasonably tough two-mile long 1.8 percent grade, the LIRR's only helper district during the days of steam. Olivet grade was enough to rate "G" plates on the eastbound position light automatic block signals. Alas, LIRR freights during the 70's rarely had the length or the tonnage to pass these signals on a Rule 291. It still was a great piece of railroad. 1 Delmonico Int. 4 2 Continental Can Co a. 4 b. 4 c. 3 d.5 3 Bulkley Dunton LL 2 4 Austin Nichols 2 5 Austin Nichols 5

May 2, 1974. Mid morning. The Empire State Building just to the right of center and the fabled Kosciusko Bridge above. You're at the private grade crossing into the Phelps Dodge copper refinery. Nichols Siding, named after the Nichols Copper Co In the 50's and 60's, you could go to Nichols Siding at virtually any time and find a train in motion.
The lead to Phelps-Dodge is the track to the left of the train. This landmark industrial site on Newtown Creek, was long the LIRR's best freight customer and was so important as to justify its own freight clerk and station designation ("Laurel Hill"), a job that worked in one of the myriad ancient brick buildings of the complex until the early 60's. Phelps-Dodge, a company with ancient roots in NYC and a supply link to copper mines off the SP and the Tucson, Cornelia and Gila Bend in far away Arizona, signaled to the world why the ancient and fragrant colonial waterway of Newtown Creek represented the greatness of New York at the inland port of Maspeth.
If you went to Nichols on a weekday afternoon at 4 PM, it was like going to heaven and dying; deadhead passenger, light engines, local and through freights, and scheduled passenger trains.

Fremont Tower 6-23-53Back 50 years ago, Fresh Pond Junction was an important place with freights of the New Haven and LIRR serving the 11 mile long Bay Ridge Branch. 36 year old Fremont Tower in Ridgewood, Queens, literally on the Brooklyn border, handled authorities for both railroads on the branch. Here a passenger extra approaches Fremont northbound, ready to make the right turn to the Montauk Branch. Photo: Richard F. Makse Page 10 Bushwick Branch Map 1

LIRR Triple header Glendale Atlas Terminal 1971While Atlas Terminal was only a shadow of its former self, the former Glendale freight station, now a diner in this __ scene, gave ample testimony to the importance of this pocket-sized terminal to the LIRR's Montauk Branch. Atlas once stabled as many as three industrial switchers to handle traffic on the tight curves of this early industrial park. It's January 1971 and a glimmer of the high winter sun lights up the twilight years of first generation diesels like RS-1 265. Photo: Richard F. Makse
