Does anyone what kind LIRR is this that pull into Weekday Rush Hour Only Hunters Point Av Station?

Those are SW1001s (I believe) that serve as Harold protects. Usually this pair sits in Morris Park right next to the Boland's Landing platform (the one right outside the Atlantic Ave tunnel).

Yes, EMD made SW1001. They still work and could fetch a train in distress if needed. B)

Do you know if the pair are fitted with Budd pin and cup couplers or if they have to carry along a compromise coupler in order to haul some MUs out?

[metsfan 2]

Not sure, but i do know they can pull a double set dead in tow, even if its not fast. B)

 

I have seen those adapter couplers at trenton since they have the budd arrow emu's there as well as other stuff.
