It is Friday, June 16, 1972 and one of LIRR's former KCS coaches is the rear car on train 18, The Cannonball, at Westhampton. Although the car number is not legible in the photo, this appears to be one of the cars built by ACF in 1956.

8554 burned while sitting in the scrapline at Corona. The track leading to this scrapline was part of
the LIRR's original (long abandoned) Whitestone Branch. Did you notice the "Unisphere",
which was the centerpiece of the New York World's Fair of 1964-1965,
visible in the distance directly over the furthest car in the string of 4 cars?
