Title:
Steam action
Description:
A G5 comes to a stop at Huntington(note the UN telegraph code on the train order mast) some time around 1940. At the time, the easternmost point on the Port Jefferson Branch was Wading River; I don't know if the train originated there or at Port Jeff. It will continue into Jamaica. This is a far cry from the Huntington of today. The electrification was extended here in 1970, and MU's now run here every 30 minutes most of the day, with a change to diesel trains for the rest of the ride to Port Jeff. It's also a lot more built up!! The photo was given to me by a friend who found it while cleaning out his grandmothers attic about 35 years ago. Dont know the photographer, but its a sweet shot. The Pennsy parentage of the locomotive is apparent, not only by design, but by the NL on the pilot beam, denoting the New York Division, LIRR.
