Remarks & Notes

"Knocking off the Slag at Farmingdale" A Long Island Rail Road track worker knocks off slag from a recent thermite weld at the Secatogue Ave grade crossing on Main Line 1. Thermite welding is the process of igniting a mix of high energy materials, (also called thermite), that produce a molten metal that is poured between the working pieces of metal to form a welded joint. Welding the rail joints creates a smoother ride for passengers and a quieter atmosphere for the residents of the surrounding area.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
