That`s my dad in the engine (Walter "Hilsy" Hilsenbeck). I was sent this by one of his old co-workers the other day and showed it to him. He got a real kick of it and was happy to see that someone got this!
@AviationMetalSmith I think that the Harold Protects which is this unit with its sister 102 was cut due to the MTAs budget crisis so now these units are back in the work train lineup.
Sorry for the delay in my reply been very busy with school, any way work trains on this line known as the Garden Mitchell Secondary are "hit and miss" with the exception to the annual circus train there is no set schedule for these types of work train moves.
Rare. But I still don't understand why the LIRR no longer has this unit as a protect engine. Are the M7's that much more reliable , that they don't need a protect engine?

If there are any trains what time do they usually come through at that Clinton Ave station on the Garden City-Mitchell field secondary?
