LI 610
Title:  LI 610
Description:  Long Island RR FA-2m power car 610 in a deceptively bucolic setting; at the station on the grounds of the Pilgrim State Mental Hospital near Brentwood, NY. Long Island operated these trains for many years on Sundays only to allow families to visit patients at the hospital. The train was finally discontinued in 1978. LI 610 was ex-WM 302.
