Yes, I think there was an engine pulling the Double Decker train. The train was dark grey and had little "Dashing Dan" signs on the sides.
It went through Floral Park like the wind. This is before Floral Park was elevated, so we're talking pre-1961 here. I remember the wooden station buildings at Floral Park and the quaint platform lamps. We used to pick my Dad up there from work (we lived in Elmont). While they elevated Floral Park, they installed a temporary track right in the middle of Atlantic Avenue so service could continue. It was one track with a temporary platform and it went back to two tracks after the branch off towards Hempstead.
