Approach on the Distant Locust
Paint Doesn’t Make Money
On the morning of Friday, July 14th, 2023, LI167 and LI405 sit at Long Island City waiting out the morning rush hour. After the LI405 (DE30AC) experienced an issue earlier in the morning, LI167 (MP15AC) promptly coupled up and waited for the hustle and bustle to die down at the Long Island Railroad’s Long Island City station. When the last eastbound deadhead departed the station just after 11AM, LI167 towed the disabled locomotive east to Morris Park for repairs. Like on many other Long Island Railroad MP15ACs, the Home Depot paint had not faired well, leaving a few units like LI167 running around painted in mostly primer or with layers of old paint fading through.
