Motive power to make the trains move was usually GP38-2 or MP15AC, though in the early days they still had some C-420's around. In later years, some of the LIRR FA's were rebuilt and the original Alco 244 engines/generators were removed. They were replaced by a "sled" -- a removeable engine/generator set -- with a smaller truck-type Detroit Diesel to drive the generator.
