I
recall reading (at a friend’s home) an article in the June 21 (1975)
edition of Newsday about the excursion, and headed out to Montauk the
following morning to investigate for myself. Sure enough…in
the consist of a regularly-scheduled weekend train (positioned at the
easternmost end) were the three cars mentioned in the newspaper –
Pins’ “signature” Pennsylvania 120 and his (then-recent
acquisition) Shenandoah, along with the NYRE’s own private car,
Eugene Field. Info: Ed Frye
|
|
I photographed the train from the roof of Jamaica station on 6/20/1975. Here's that shot. That's George Pins' 120 (I believe it was called the Queen Mary) on the rear.
This was Friday
June20th, 1975. My recollection is that the PV's were on the rear of the Advance
Cannonball -old train #12. I rode the train to Jamaica, but I find it amazing that I was able to get to the roof of Jamaica so quickly from track 8.

New York Railroad Enthusiasts 1456 Eugene Field. Formerly Nord Photo Engineering 1456 Silver Messenger (rebuilt to a 4-double-bedroom lounge configuration, and operated as a mobile classroom/product demonstration car); nee-Frisco 14-roomette, 4-double-bedroom sleeper Eugene Field (road number 1456). According to David Randall (RPC Publications), this car also operated in the 1978 “Chessie Steam Special” as a dormitory for concession personnel). New York Railroad Enthusiasts returned the car to its Frisco heritage, namely in the letterboard, nameboard, and (1456) road number.

For your reference, I reproduced an image (from Wayner’s Pullman and Private Car Pictorial) of Eugene Field as it appeared under the ownership of Nord Engineering (renamed Silver Messenger).

George Pins' private car
PRR 120, purchased from Penn Central, parked at the east end track
in Montauk Yard is adjacent a LIRR consist with tavern lounge
observation 2081 AQUEBOGUE positioned at the east end.
As I see it, the
significance of the photos is that it was very rare for LIRR to
operate privately owned passenger cars on their lines. On this
day (June 22, 1975), there were three (3) privately owned cars (PRR
120, SHENANDOAH and EUGENE FIELD) that made the trip from
Hunterspoint Avenue to Montauk and back on LIRR, apparently in a
consist with other LIRR cars.
One other minor point
... PRR 120 had been the President's car on PRR ... LIRR was a PRR
property for many years ... the eastern end of track at Montauk
would be the easternmost point on the combined PRR/LIRR system.

This trip also had
a "runby" into/out of the Degnon terminal. The engine couldn't
get the train out of Degnon, however, so they had to double the hill!
Attached is a pic (though the vantage point isn't great) of this move.
This was the last move into Degnon, as the switch was removed shortly
afterwards. John Fusto
