I must say, I was surprised when this pic showed up on my Facebook feed... I thought double-deckers were a much more recent addition to commuter fleets. The caption reads:

”LIRR MU Double-decker at Country Life Press, Mineola 1948“.

LIRR had double-decker cars on the Babylon and Hempstead branches into the 1960s. These cars were my favorites. Used to ride them from New York Penn through Jamaica to Hempstead and Merrick. I remember them as being painted gray.
