Queens
NYAR RS91 rumbles through Queens interlocking behind one of two Progress Rail-built PR20Bs on the roster leading an MP15 and a healthy cut of mixed freight from Pine Aire. Queens is one of a dwindling number of interlockings on the LIRR that is both protected by PRR-style position lights and controlled by a tower (seen in the background just to the left of the signal bridge). A large number of LIRR signal bridges and at least one tower were removed when the mainline was triple tracked east of Queens all the way to Divide (Hicksville).
