LIRR RS3 #1559 - Long Island RR  Contributor's Pick!       
Stopped at the Mineola station, this 1955 Alco built RS3 has a respectable passenger train of 6 cars. Based on the poster on the platform advertising the British movie "Rattle of a Simple Man", it must be the fall of 1964-65 so the date is approximate. This is an excellent example of a typical commuter action shot from the 1960's by photographer John Krause.
