We go slumming on that other Island
When you're used to modern, clean, comfortable and efficient railroads like the Staten Island RR, NJ Transit and Metro North, riding the Long Island railroad is like stepping into a mud bath. Still and all, it's a major rail link for thousands of commuters who rely on it to get them from Points East to the Big Apple. Here's what we caught!
Eastbound to Hempstead |
Train to Ronkonkoma pulls out |
An express to Manhattan across the platform |
Small "D Yard" beside westbound platforms |
One westbound leaves, the other waits |
Closed waiting area |
Closed waiting area - these are relatively new |
Old waiting area behind stairs to overhead walkway |
Looking east at switch tower |
These iron power line "towers" are unique |
