They could keep around a half zone trains in the small yard west of the station. An Amtrak Yard Engineer had to drive the train west of the NYPS platforms. That was another expense. Coming east, the LIRR crew would get on and have to do another brake test.They deadheaded to just about everywhere except West Hempstead. There were slightly fewer trains then since it predated Ronkonkoma. But soem of those and the dual mode slots were taken from Hempstead, Far Rockaway and combining some Babylon zone trains. Some train got the axe, others bumped to Brooklyn. |
