Cab ride authorization
Title:  Cab ride authorization
Description:  In 1979, as a PR effort to get riders to understand the travails of running the diesel lines, the LIRR implemented a program, whose name, if I recall correctly, was People to People. The prime feature of the program was to have riders take a cab ride on a line of their choice, with an LIRR official along to explain what went into making it all happen. Of course, I applied immediately. This is the letter I received, telling me I was set to rider Train 509 from Oyster Bay to Hunterspoint Av on April 26 1979.

The FA will go out shortly, with me riding the left hand seat as part of a LIRR program to familiarize riders with the diesel operations on the railroad, a PR program that they did in 1979.
