NJT in Alamosa, CO this is because there is a dinner train that runs out of Alamosa and they use the NJT F40PH locomotives. The NJT retired its F40PH locomotives a number of years ago and many short lines and tourist lines purchased them. Check out around the corner from here in Alamosa. There's an old D&RG narrow gauge locomotive preserved and protected. If you follow the main road west out of Alamosa, you will see the ROW of the former D&RG narrow gauge line.
In 2016 I traveled through that area and stopped in Alamosa. We visited the Sand Dunes National Park which isn't too far away. I also saw the train museum and tourist ride out in South Fork during the trip to there. Seeing the South Fork picture brought back memories of that trip. Thanks!
My aunt and uncle had a summer house in Hampton Bays, NY, which is east of Riverhead. My aunt used to shop at the ShopRite market located in Riverhead. I have quite a story, which I've told before here, regarding a trip I took from Boston to New York City then out to Hampton Bays. I took the early Amtrak down and rode back with my dad because I wasn't old enough to drive yet.
Located in Riverhead yard is a bunch of older equipment in addition to the RS3. I recommend checking that out. This includes a few older passenger cars and some recently painted cabeese used in MOW trains.

What looks like a Plymouth switcher.

The Long Island Railroad was once owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad and still uses the position-light signals in some locations. The passenger service today is run by Metro North. The service is a combination of 3rd-rail powered, like the Southern region in the UK, and diesel powered. The trains will run dual-mode out of Penn Station in NYC out to Montauk Point and Green Port as well as on other branches. The other trains within the 3rd-rail district are Bombardier M8s. These are being replaced by Kawasaki M9s. The freight service is run by the NY and Atlantic using standard EMD GP-series locomotives. At one time, the LI RR was an all Alco railroad and used RS2s, RS3s, and PA1s and PA2s their commuter trains and other RSs and Centuries on the freights.
