On a foggy March 31st, 2025, Long Island Rail Road "South Fork Commuter Connection" train 92, led by EMD DE30AC 406, passes the former station house at Shinnecock Hills, New York on the Montauk Line. Originally opened around 1887, the station closed in 1938 and was later repurposed as a U.S. Post Office before becoming a private residence in 2013. Previously hidden by bamboo, the north side of the structure has recently been cleared and is once again visible from passing trains.
Locomotive-hauled trains extend LIRR service from Midtown New York to the eastern reaches of the North and South Forks. Power has gone through four generations since steam service ended.
