Been a long, long time since I'd thought about Louis Sherry ... and you know what?  They're still in business!

Edted with corrections and additional information from Henry Raudenbush

Began with MP54 ride from Penn Station.   MP54 and Trailblazer coaches at SunnysideL

Visited LIRR freight yard, as well as PRR passenger yard

Steam and electric, not one diesel!

 

 Men working on a GG-1 pan.  Note the ground stick on the catenary

 

 

 

LIRR Yard A, beside Sunnyside, crew switching hoppers, and an LIRR 0-6-0 switcher, not a PRR-design, note absense of a Belpait firebox, probably Alco.
