Backing down  Contributor's Pick!       
The power for LISE is backing down past Lutheran Cemetery in Queens as it heads to pick up its train, and return to Oak Point yard in the Bronx. There it will gather any cars for Selkirk, returning up the Hudson Line after rush hour. Note the catenary supports still hanging over the tracks. In New Haven days, this was a big time electrified freight line.
