Interesting location. I grew up 30 miles East of Blissville, on the Montauk branch, in Copiague, N.Y.
The bridge you have is the John Jay Byrne Bridge ( Greenpoint Ave. )
The Industry just to the east of the bridge is/was Allied Extruders, and the street just south of the tracks is Railroad Avenue.
One of the projects I was planning to build, and have most of the parts on hand now, is a pair of former Metro North MP15ACs, that the NY&A acquired. Their GP38s are more recent acquisitions.
At the time I became interested in the NY&A, they commonly used two locos, one at each end of the train in a push/pull arrangement, which aided greatly in simplifying some of their switching requirements.
I'll be watching this one....it's been just short of fifty years since I left Copiague, but I still feel connected to Long Island.
