Was it the EMD E8?

 

Nope, and here are a pair of hints:

 

a) This equipment could be operated from either end of a single car, a true MU.

 

B) The lack of a safety feature adopted after entering service led to restrictions from being operated north of North White Plains.

Sounds like ACMUs, as to when they were taken OOS, i'd guess they were retired in 2004 or 2005? No idea really...

 

You can take this one, Joe.

 

The ACMU 1100's, built by Pullman-Standard in 1956, were finally retired in 2004 when the M7A's were entered into revenue service on the Harlem and Hudson lines.

Name all the stops on the Lower Montauk branch from LIC to Jamaica and as a bonus name the location of the 2 grade crossings in Queens (one is not a through street but cars do cross it)

 

Been reading this thread but most of the questions were over my head. Anyway, there is another grade crossing in Queens on the Port Washington branch just west of the Little Neck station at Little Neck Pkwy.
