Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)

Former Long Island RR (LI) 604, an FA2 rebuilt into a power car, is resting at the the Feather River Railroad Society (FRRS) in Portola, CA, on an unrecorded date in or around 1988. At the time of this photo there was talk of painting it as UP 1644, right after UP's real FA1s.
