I though it might start with the 5:47, rather than deadhead it out for the AM rush.

How almighty has fallen.

In the 1960's until 1972 that train was 17 cars, mixture of P72's, P74's, and P54's with 2 bar cars with ONE Alco C420.

From the Huntington electrification to the 1988 Ronkonkoma electrification, it was 13 P72's and ONE GP38, though got a 2nd one in the 1980's.

Then it was 11 cars, and by the time I left Long Island in 1992, 10 cars.

Then it became a C-3 train of 6, 7, or 8 cars.

Now just 5 cars.
