South Side Sportsmen's Club

SSRR's Club House station, which was
located just east of the Montauk Highway overpass west of Oakdale,
across from the Connetquot Park which was the former location of the
South Side Sportsmen's Club (hence "Club House" station).
The view is looking east at SSRR MP45
(milepost). The Bayard
Cutting Arboretum today would be
at the right. When the LIRR took
over the SSRR, they had to reset the mileposts, hence the slight variation
in MP locations.

Flushing & North Side eastbound at Sta-58th St & 38th Ave
Woodside c. 1872
Dave Keller archive |
The original station that was constructed for the Flushing
& North Side RR (train of which you see in the image), a
competitor of the LIRR who eventually took over that line and turned
it into their Port Washington branch. The depot was opened on
11/15/1869 so it's rather new in this image c.1872. The depot
lasted up until 1914 when it was closed with the grade crossing
elimination project for the new and elevated location of Woodside that
we all know today and which was opened for service on 10/17/1915 some
distance east of the original station site.
|
|
The original 1869 depot
remained standing until it was razed on 11/17/15 after the new
facilities were in use and the old station location cleaned up of
construction debris.
In this image the two posts
adjacent to the locomotive tender hold a sign that reads "RAILROAD
CROSSING- LOOK OUT FOR THE CARS". The crossing was
actually BETWEEN those two poles like an old-style football goal post.
You can't make out the actual road due to the snow.

1st depot built: c. 1836 as terminus
(“Old Jamaica”) of LIRR remodeled 1869 and 1872.
2nd depot placed in service after LIRR acquired SSRR. The SSRR depot was moved to the west side of the main line station in 1877, although the
LIRR utilized the former SSRR stop, now renamed "Jamaica
Southern" in timetable eff. 6/17/1877 only, for LIRR trains on what was then termed the
"Old Southern Road" to eliminate the need for a reverse move to
stop at the main line station while trains continued to stop at this location as late as 1913, there was no indication of a new depot structure until possibly 1905, when electrification may have moved the station stop slightly east of the original.

LIRR "old" #45
built by Schenectady c. 12/1870+ Most probably a builder's photo from
the Schenectady works (later became part of ALCO)
|
The OLD #45 was built by Schenectady in December,
1870, and had a cycle of 15 x22 with 60" stroke. It was
renumbered to #8 in 1898.
Also, someone thought the same thing, because they typed at the bottom
the cycle of 15 x 22 although they have the stroke as 69" instead
of 60" . . . probably a typo, or a miss-read on their part from a
roster listing
