Art Peterson's on-going series of trains that once served the traveling public during
the glory days of the modern streamliner continues this month with a look at

Diesel Locomotive Evolution on the Long Island
Speaking of east coast passenger trains, no public carrier is better known nor dispatches more
passenger-hauling trains than New York City's own Long Island Rail Road. The 24/7 operation

employed an interesting mix of first, second and third generation
power.
