Note: This 1913 timetable covers
the long gone line that went from
Mineola to West Hempstead. It cut between NASSAU Tower and Mineola
Station and headed south through Garden City, crossing Old Country Road and
continuing south crossing Stewart Avenue, to a few hundred feet north
(around Chestnut Street) of Country Life Press Station. Heading further
south towards the Village of Hempstead, it veered heading southwest starting
around Old Main Street in Hempstead. From there, basically straight into
West Hempstead crossing Main Street, Franklin Avenue, Intersection Street,
Atlantic Avenue, Hilton Avenue, Cathedral Avenue, Saint Paul's Road N,
Hempstead Turnpike (Fulton Street), and Hempstead Avenue into the West
Hempstead Station. Steve Melrose |

This was the first time in LIRR history that the Cannonball departed from Penn station. Prior to this date on the timetable, the Cannonball had always departed from Hunterspoint Avenue. The first stop after Penn was Westhampton, it did not stop at Jamaica as in prior years. I was on that 1st train from Penn in one of the 2 Hampton's Reserve cars. Reserve seating and waiter/waitress service at your seat. No standees in the 2 Hampton's Reserve cars. The Cannonball was soon becoming too popular and crowded. One train had 1,800 passengers with 1200 seats! The LIRR had to limit the number of passengers on the Cannonball to twelve cars and two DM locomotives. This year was the 1st time since WWII that the LIRR did NOT run the Cannonball. Archive: NRHS-LIST Steve Quigley |
