LIRR Bicentennial Heritage Cars
| There were two (2) sets of Bicentennial Heritage Cars: 1. Nassau County Heritage Train, ex-MU cars #1632, 1391 2. Suffolk County Heritage Train, ex-MU cars # 921, 1900 |
Cars #1900 and #921, non-electrified, made up the "Suffolk County Bicentennial Heritage Train" and were pulled out east by diesel.
Cars #1632 and #1391, electrified, made up the "Nassau County Heritage Train." I have shots of both trains taken in 1976.
Afterwards, #1632 went on display at one of the platforms at Flatbush Avenue Station. I have a shot of it there in 1978.
After the bicentennial celebration wound down, one of the cars went to the LIE rest area in Brentwood. I believe the combine wound up at the corner of Rt. 112 and Nesconset Hwy in Port Jefferson.
