Jamesport Station platform "R" Block Limit Signal View E
10/1963 Photo/Archive: Dave Keller
The one-car-length platform has been constructed
and the fresh white concrete slab in place for the metal shelter shed, but
the shed has not yet been installed and is still at its former location east
of here. The remains of the old passing siding are visible in the street and, following the old ROW, you can see that the former siding ran right thru what was to become the 1963 relocated station site.

Jamesport Station View W from rear of train
8/13/1964 (Makse-Keller)
This is the relocated station
stop with relocated shelter shed to the opposite side of the tracks and one-car-length platform
1200 feet west of the former location which was just up the street at the
right (behind the photographer), shot from the rear of a Greenport-bound
train.
The old version block limit
signal is visible in Makse's image in the center background, just this side
of the crossing. There is a T-box attached to the signal mast.

JAMESPORT - DAILY REPORT OF
TICKET SALES - June 5th, 1878
|
|
|
|
Note: Agent George
F. Wells sold only 4 tickets that entire day and didn't even handle any
baggage (note total line on cover). But . . . look at those prices!
With the exception of Riverhead at $.15 ($3.53),
New York had the astronomical cost of $2.05
($48.25), I assume it included the ferry
charge, and Long Island City of $2.00 ($47.07).
The record goes to Brooklyn at $3.60 ($84.73).
That was a LOT of money back in 1878!
