| Valentines Day 1969 was a remarkable weekend. The NY area got around 20" of snow, and the LIRR was buried, like everything else. It took them a while to get all the snow off the platforms, so this was the scene around Wednesday of the following week. It was a mess. Look how deep the snow is on the tracks. The railroad ran pairs of RS 1's on trains here for several weeks after the snowstorm, as many of the MU trains were having problems with poor third rail contact. It was a great show for me, but I was 9 years old. If only I'd been able to get some photos. |
