(4-4-2) #1287 is seen in this 1940 view pulling a train against traffic
at Roslyn, NY while installation of a crossover is underway. In
the foreground, the signal for the switch being installed is visible
with the globes turned 90 degrees from the track, as the signal is not
yet in use. In the left background both semaphore and position
light signals can be seen. (T. Sommer photo, Dave Keller

According to my research at the Bryant Library Local History Collection in Roslyn, the building was moved to its new location on December 8, 1988 (“The Roslyn Long Island Railroad Station.”
Roslyn News, December 8, 1988). It reopened on July 30, 1990 with low-level platforms (“Roslyn Train Station, Originally Built in 1887, Has Been Reopened for Business.” Roslyn News, August 16, 1990).Construction of the present high-level platforms began on March 3, 1997 (“LIRR Renovations Underway.” Roslyn News, March 6, 1997) and probably was completed in the fall of 1997.

The RF-61, with the LIRR #229 in the lead, has just received the signal
from Nassau at (the old) Bridge #3 at Roslyn Road. You could always tell
when the old Alco's were in the 8th notch
with those plumes of smoke! July, 1982 Photo/Archive: Jay Bendersky |

When I was
a teenager I used to tag along with the conductor on the Oyster Bay
freight, which ran every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There first stop
was a lumber yard south of Mineola Coal . Mineola Coal is where I met up
with them, there was a lay over track there and Mineola Coal was on one
side of Jericho Turnpike and on the other side was a large switching
area they called "the Hole".
In that
large complex was Mineola Paper, Albertson Lumber, Local Steel, Mineola
Plumbing, Latham Brothers Lumber, Windsor Coal, Pittsburgh Glass, an
Iron Works Company, a candy company and another paper company at the
end. After spotting cars there, we always took a yellow fruit growers
express refrigeration car and put it behind the engine, this was done
just about every time on the scheduled run. The fruit growers express
refrigeration car was headed to Helena Rubenstein.
We would
lay over, either at the Hole or Mineola Coal, and wait for the next
north bound train to Oyster Bay as soon as the block would clear we
would follow it up to Roslyn. At Roslyn we would leave the main body of
the train in Roslyn and take the car up to Helena Rubenstein.
I remember
the conductor telling the engineer to go extremely slow on that siding,
something about the curve not being right. After we spotted the car and
picked up our empty we head back to Roslyn. By this time the southbound
train going to Penn Station would have gone by and we would get
permission to cross over at the Roslyn Crossover and leave our empty
cars and any cars for Roslyn on the south side and any cars we had for
Albertson's Steel we had which was on the south side. We would cross
back over pick up our loaded cars and head north towards Oyster Bay. Our
next stop was usually Sea Cliff. There was a team track in Glen Head ,
but it was rarely used, delivering boulders in gondolas.
