Model Pacific
Title:  Model Pacific
Description:  Dad had this Buddy L engine and tender from when he was a kid. It was still around when my brothers and me were in our teens. Wed light off leaves in the fire box-which, to our surprise, actually worked-though it would not steam. It made for an interesting exercise in semi reality.

Roster shot
Title:  Roster shot
Description:  A roster photo of the Buddy L pacific my dad had as a kid. I could never figure out a likely railroad for it-Im not that knowledgeable about steam-but obviously not PRR, or Reading, judging by the firebox. It was a cool model. Id still have it, but someone stole it from my house about 15 years ago.

Rainy night
Title:  Rainy night
Description:  You can almost hear the rain falling in this view looking east at Manhasset. A stop and proceed signal cuts through the gathering gloom in the distance. The building at left is the old post office. I can recall seeing MPB 54s leading eastbound trains here, the conductor tossing off mail bags to the platform on the lower level back in the 60s.

Snowy wait
Title:  Snowy wait
Description:  When dad had us for his Sunday visitation, wed often go to my grandmothers house in Manhasset. It was walking distance from the tr`in on both ends, so that was a simple choice. We were waiting for the train back to Little Neck on this snowy night in 1976.

High bridge
Title:  High bridge
Description:  The tallest bridge on the LIRR is the Manhasset Valley Viaduct, spanning the inlet between Manhasset and Great Neck. Its hard to get good photos, due to clutter, and lack of good access at the top. This view is from Thompson Shore Rd, looking up at an eastbound Port Washington train on the Manhasset side.
