Caught LIRR diesel being towed back to Queens

Posted by Andrew Saucci on Wed Nov 7 21:48:10 2018

Unfortunately, since I was once again driving home alone, I couldn't photograph the diesel heading westbound on the Montauk branch. However, I am able to provide an artist's sketch.

was it being towed back to Queens because of flat wheels?

Could be a bad diesel/dual mode and coach that needs some work. That's my guess.
Not the first time this has been done (Sept. 1980)

Picasso himself couldn't have done a better job.

Flat wheels are certainly a good possibility at this time of year. On second glance at the sketch, it does look sort of obvious, if the sketch is to be taken as accurate.

I will pass that review on to the artist.
