Thanks for the information!
I have one question - would you have the unit #s of the cars wrecked at Richmond Hill and Rockville Centre? (Old photo appears to show one at RVC as #1319 - not on list above - might be #1819 or #1919) also the last car on the Hempstead Train at Richmond Hill is clearly a MP54 (A or A1) but not sure on the Babylon train - account said it was "a shiny grey coach made of a special steel" - indicating that it may have been relatively new - maybe a later MP car type (though it looks like the two cars are the same length judging by the photo) -it seems to have a railroad roof and round porthole windows at the rear, like the MP54s. You can clearly see how the roof of this car (the Babylon train) has been smashed down in the archive photo.
