Note the tall chimney on the pump house, so there's a steam-powered
engine in the building to pump the water.  Archive: Dave Keller

Oyster Bay water tank 1938
(T. Sommer-D. Keller)


It's 1950 and a time of transition.  ALCO RS1 #469 in the Tichy color scheme has just come off the turntable and is passing the old water tank in the Oyster Bay yard. Visible under the water plug are G5s #s 21 and 24.  These two locomotives will remain in service until the end of steam on the LIRR in October, 1955 when they'll be sent to the scrapper.  Archive: Dave Keller
