Why do they have a plow? Doesnt LIRR own and maintain all those tracks?

they don't have a plow, that's the MTA's plow (you can see "MTA Long Island Rail Road" on the side of the plow).

This is more a case of "Since you guys aren't busy today, go shove this thing around for a few hours and we'll pay you"

Neat video!! Thanks for sharing. So...what's the story with the old passenger coaches I saw n the beginning- and where is that?

I could see that this was non-electric territory, but that's it...

I had assumed the P72's got repainted. I guess not. I think there are 3 of them there.

Isn't it a Jordan spreader? Don't those get used throughout the year to do ballast profiling and ditching?

No those are not the ping pongs. The P54's were gone in 1974. You'll find one at Oyster Bay
