John Kilbride will present his trackside views of the Long Island Railroad’s East End trains in the two decades, (1975 - 1995), he was capturing the operations in what he considers the newer ‘Golden Age’ of LIRR trains – the era before newer equipment entered service.  He will focus on the Greenport and Montauk service, (as well as a few Oyster Bay and Pt. Jefferson scenes), as push-pull trains were introduced.  Cab ride views will be included as will a historical review of East End service. John will remind attendees of the years of train orders, meets on single track lines, ALCo locomotives, parlor cars and open vestibules!
