Mineola Railfanning 1/16/11

I paid a visit to Mineola today to test out my new camera. I didn't stay for very long, but I did get to see several trains.

1: Train 8050 races through with a 10 car M7 set. Notice that two of the M7s are wrapped in advertisements. 7654 leads the way, and 7366 is at the end.
2: Train 7702 makes its stop with 8 M7s. 7068 is leading, and 7595 is trailing.
3: C3 Cab Car 5021 leads Train 6551 as it comes off of the Oyster Bay branch and pulls into the station. DE30AC 420 provides the power.
4: Train 6506 arrives and meets Train 6611, which pulls in shortly afterwards. DM30AC 502 is on the point of 6506, and C3 5018 is at the end. 6611 consists of 10 M7s led by 7187, and 7032 is bringing up the rear.

@ELSD45801 Thanks! It was pretty cold. Yes, this was taken with my new Vixia HF M31.

Nice video! I might be railfanning Metro-North soon to catch some M8 cars!

@NJTAmtrakGuy Thanks! I'm considering heading back into Metro-North territory one day soon as well. I'd love to see the M8s in action.

Very nice. I remember riding those double deckers when they first came with a FL9 and boarding at Mineola Station.

Nice Stuff Richard! I love watching those LIRR trains fly!

@UnionPacific18 Thanks! I didn't bring the tripod because the MTA doesn't want tripods to be used on their property.

@Espee9180 Thanks! No one bothered me the whole time I was there.
