Rolling on the south shore |
Description: |
Most Montauk trains ran the Central Branch and the Main Line via Hicksville, though if they did not have any stops(some made Mineola, and at least one south shore train during the week made Bethpage), the dispatcher had his choice of routes. This Montauk train was one of those, and we see it rolling west through Valley Stream on its way to city connections at Jamaica. Valley tower, at right of the train, controls the tracks going off to the right, the Far Rockaway Branch, and a connection to the West Hempstead Branch, which diverges to the left out of the photo beyond the train of M 1's in the distance. |

Coming off the branch |
Description: |

West Hempstead train |
Description: |
A West Hempstead train rolls through Valley interlocking and into the station. It has come off the branch, which diverges to the left beyond Valley tower, and will connect here with Far Rockaway and Long Beach trains. West Hempstead was a poor stepchild on the west end, seeing only token service-about every two hours on weekends. |

West into the sun |
Description: |
A westbound Babylon train rolls into the late day sun as it heads for Jamaica and Penn Station. Note the PRR style pedestal position light signal. It is showing a stop indication. These were unique to the PRR and affiliates. It was like a dwarf, but on a pole for better visibility. The indications were read as if on a dwarf signal. Two lights vertical would be a "slow clear" indication. |

Another Long Beach train |
Description: |
Long Beach trains ran more often than Far Rockaway trains, once an hour, so they were well represented here. A westbound rolls into Valley Stream. |

Westbound MUs |
Description: |
A New York bound train from Babylon passes the station at Valley Stream. Montauk Branch trains use the two northerly tracks here, with Far Rockaway, West Hempstead and Long Beach Branch trains using the two south tracks. Note the pedestal signal at the end of the platform-essentially a dwarf on a stick. Valley tower, just beyond the station, controls the action. |
