On the evening of June 1, 2025, Long Island Rail Road train 6017, led by EMD DM30AC 517, races past the former Water Mill station (also known as Watermill) on the Montauk Line in Water Mill, New York. The station house seen here was built in 1903 with the completion of the LIRR’s Montauk Extension and closed just before 1968. After sitting dormant for many years, it later served as a dress shop and a restaurant, and now houses one of the main offices for Party Rental Limited.
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.
