1927 in Port Jefferson

[aemoreira81 981]

This bus was on a bus bridge for Train 650; I am facing west in this shot.

 

 

That run had 5-6 MCIs and one O7 NG covering it, all from LIB. Earlier runs were performed by MTA Bus.

Based on schedule analysis of the bus bridge for Train 650, there is one bus taking each station down the line. By the 7 buses you mean that PJ alone has 7 buses? There are 6 stations and 1 local bus, so 7 makes sense for the entire line, you probably saw 7 buses if you waited at Huntington.

It was 7 buses from Huntington---six MCIs and one Orion VII NG CNG. The buses were 1744, 1860, 1865, 1886, 1887, 1889, and 1927.

That used to be out of Yukon when I still lived on Staten Island in June of '06.

And it sure seems as though it was transferred from Yukon straight to Mitchel Field; the seat I was in was flat.

Nice, are those buses also being used on the Long Beach Bustitution?

Nice pic and catch!

There are the following LIRR bustitutions planned:

 

Weekends of Apr 10 and Apr 17, entire Hempstead Branch

Apr 12, 5 midday Montauk Branch trains Babylon-Speonk

Apr 13, 16, 19-23, 4 midday Montauk Branch trains Babylon-Speonk

Apr 14-15, 8 midday Montauk Branch trains Babylon-Montauk

Apr 20, 4 midday West Hempstead branch trains, entire branch

Weekend of Apr 24, all Montauk Branch trains Babylon-Speonk

 

A lot of chances to busfan!

 

Also today, buses replace some trains between Montauk and Amagansett due to high water in the yard.
