+Video Photography Thanks so much Necie! I was so excited to finally see a train come down this way.

[@CaptainTransit]

Pretty much every time I see one of the PR20Bs, it’s always paired with the other one.

[@nynjrailvideos7198]

I saw RS40 at Jamaica with 1 GP38 and 1 PR20B.

+Balerio 2357 Thanks, this was my rarest catch this year lol

[@michaelsangiamo4111]

Sweet daylight catch. If you live in the area you can catch the mps switch on rust street across from the goodfellas diner from like 7pm to around 10 and then the garbage train headed back to fresh pond yard around 11

[@monica012077]

Sweet! I don't live nearby but I do want to catch something else running on this line

[@sarahhxo_]

Yes by the restaurant depot I see freight trains like 11 at night , it's dark and empty the parking lot. Just giving a heads up.

Wow!Something different! What are these locomotives powered by?! There very quiet!

[@monica012077]

+Thomas Bell Not sure, they're diesels made by Progress Rail. PR20B's are clean emissions locomotives.

[@ernestpassaro9663]

I heard they don’t pull well at all !

[@danbytp]

@@ernestpassaro9663 So I hear too.NYA was the freight part of the Long Island Railroad.They were not pulling enough loads to justify the cost since passenger service was the main emphasis of the LIRR.So they sold the freight service a few years ago to a company that specializes in this type of operations.The main power units were getting real old and inefficient.NYA was able to use all it's income for upgrades hence these new units.The trains aren't very long,25-30 cars long at most,15 on average.So the need for the power of something like BNSF's units isn't necessary and too expensive for NYA.Being run in NYC an suburban Long Island Clean Energy units makes sense in such a high population density area.

@@danbytp it’s very hard if not impossible to make money on short hauls and short trains so I feel for New York and Atlantic also customer base is way down from the 70s when I was a kid back then maspeth and Long Island city were really busy with raifreight

I used to do patrol in that area about 11 yrs ago doing 4x12's. Late one night a MP15ac stopped and we got on, and was given the "seat" for a few minutes to control locomotive. Is there a schedule for when locos go in and out of yard? Super video btw....👍👍

pdglock19 Thanks for sharing that!

[@mikeytrains1]

pdglock19 All I know is two trains run it at the moment, don’t know the schedule for light engine moves or trains.

Clean emissions don't pull as much as some people want.This video is case in point 2 medium engines needed to haul only 6 cars in the consist.Yupper!
