Back in March of 2000, a group of then-UTU (United Transportation Union) female conductors was joined by women from other transportation crafts to recognize these groundbreaking sisters on the railroad. The photo was taken in front of a then brand-new Dual Mode Locomotive Engine 504.
In July 2024, those same women reunited to recreate the photo and to reminisce about the good old days. The same Engine 504 was used for the photo. The reunion was put together by retired conductor Beverly Terrillion, who organized the group and even inserted photos on handheld poles to include the few unable to be there.
“What a joyful reunion of the trailblazing women in transportation on the Long Island Rail Road, 24 years later,” said Terrillion.
