RR Museum of Long Island Cars Painted Back To Orginal LIRR

Good Evening,

After a very long day of work, I am pleased to announce that End of Steam Ceremony P-72 2924 is once again in her original as delivered grey color along with BM-62 7737. We were very lucky to have the help of 12 young people to help us with the work. The cars have never looked better! Plans call to put lettering on them in the near future. 7737 previously was in yellow red and blue, to act as a circus car, so it was time to go back to LIRR paint.

I am extremely happy with the result, and despite the fact, I am exhausted and smell like Rustolium, it was an OUTSTANDING day!

Make sure to come out to our Riverhead Site to see them!!!

Well done, Anthony! This is an improvement that's been a long time in coming, and this was the perfect time to get it done before winter sets in. It's good to see the old equipment back in the gray scheme. Twelve young men with a good, materials, and direction can make a Hell of a difference in any railroad museum.
