On the morning of June 1, 2025, Long Island Rail Road’s 'Reverse Cannonball' train 6095, led by EMD DM30AC 508 with its special drumhead still attached, 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.
