Hicksville Grime
“That has to be the nastiest looking engine I’ve ever seen.”
That’s a comment from an LIRR employee I showed this image to on the day it was captured. LI 167, an unkept and malnourished looking MP15AC, drags a train of empties across the viaduct at Hicksville, NY. I could hear the sputtering of her engine from across town. She’s on her way to Wellwood Siding in North Lindenhurst, a base of operations for railroad maintenance in western Suffolk County.
While thunderclouds gather above the viaduct, a pair of refurbished old cars sit below - probably dating from when the E15s were in their prime.
