![]() LIRR Freight stations/locations map 6/15/1969 Archive: Kevin Wong Note: A freight station shown may not be an actual depot or terminal, but could simply be a team track or siding usable for pickup or delivery (called a non-agency freight station). Several freight stations were closed or removed from tariff schedules since January 1955 (refer to the PRR A.D. 80 station index), including East Williston, Mill Neck, Hewlett, Woodmere, Baldwin, Wantagh, Seaford, Amityville, Cold Spring Harbor and Stony Brook. Peconic is still included, though removed from service in 1966. Some staffed freight stations with
agents did not have separate facilities and the freight agent was based in
the passenger station. |

![]() RS3 #1556 and #?, coupled, pull a westbound freight over Willis Avenue, passing the old section house east of the Mineola station on September 23, 1973. The Oyster Bay branch tracks curve off to the left. The old signal and switch linkage roller assemblies are visible in the foreground. This linkage, manually operated from "NASSAU" tower at the Main Street crossing, controlled a switch to the passing siding and a position light signal, both of which no longer existed at the time of this photo. It appears the removed linkage rods/pipes have been tossed haphazardly into a pile at the far right. (William Rosenberg photo, Dave Keller archive) |

center and the fabled Kosciusko Bridge. You're at the private grade
crossing into the Phelps Dodge copper refinery. Nichols Siding, named
after the Nichols Copper Co In the 50's and 60's, you could go to Nichols
Siding at virtually any time and find a train in motion. |

ALCO S2 #455, in original
"as-delivered" black livery, gold letters, small road numbers, and
white pilot is switching
a boxcar and a pole car at the old Whitestone Junction, on the Port
Washington branch just east of the former 1939 NY World's Fair grounds on
June 2, 1951. This view is looking SE from the old pedestrian overpass
which was constructed for the fair, so visitors arriving by IRT trains could
cross the LIRR tracks and access the entrance. Directly behind the
photographer was the site of the old United Nations station, which was in
service at the time this photo was taken. "JC" tower was
once located inside the switch to the former Whitestone branch in the left
background. By 1952, both the overpass and the United Nations station
were history. (Will V. Faxon, Jr. photo, Dave Keller archive) |

Also note the old pole and wire fence separating the right-of-way from the dirt road on the Pinelawn Cemetery grounds. The pole on the station platform previously held a Dietz kerosene platform lamp. The lamp has been removed but the pole still stands in this vintage view. (Dave Keller archive and data)

PRIOR Beer (both a light and dark beer) began as Czech recipes brewed in the US for the beer importer, Atlantis Imports, by Adam Scheidt Brewing Co., Norristown, PA during WWII (when European beer exports weren't possible). Philadelphia's C. Schmidt's & Sons bought Scheidt in the 1950's and continued to brew the super-premium Prior beers into the 1970's. It was a nice, dark beer! Info: Dave Keller |

Iced reefers (with bunkers)
were phased out in 1957 with the advent of mechanical reefer introduction.
The plug door car types (c.1955) reefer with the 'insulation’ was an
innovation for a non-mechanical (less expensive 3-7 day transport version).
Thus, it is a boxcar, but used in a reefer capacity. (above left) This car
was used to ship product from the main Wilson Co. plant in New Jersey. |

Before the holding yard at Maspeth was built in 1942, Haberman had a low level platform east of 49th Street on #2 (eastbound) track. With the reconfiguration of the area with the construction of the new yard, passenger trains stopped WEST of the crossing even though there was no “official” platform. The area there was paved over the sidetrack and Haberman passengers knew to board west of the crossing. It was sort of oral tradition. That’s where the train stopped. Info: Richard Maske |

The track curving off to the left accesses the south side of the station platform, the capacity of which is 10 M1's as indicated by the sign at the bottom right of the image. These tracks are considered the Atlantic branch until they curve off to Far Rockaway on the east side of the station. The tracks which continue further east are then considered Long Beach tracks #1 and #2 and curve off to that branch at the Lynbrook station. The concrete abutments support girder bridges which carry the tracks over Mill Pond creek. (Dave Keller archive and caption). |

Note the 138kv oil circuit breaker load on the depressed center flatcar. (above left) LILCO is the only plausible customer for this item at the southwest corner of Islip Ave/Suffolk Ave (Five Corners) intersection in Brentwood. See map location #6: http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirrtrackmaps/lirrmaps1966/Brentwood67.jpg
1. The
tank is divided into three sections. You wouldn't see that on a 3 phase
transformer. The depressed flat is to allow enough height to ship the breaker fully assembled from Milwaukee. Installing bushings later is not a big deal on transformers but on circuit breakers the contacts and their linkages are hung from the bushings so field assembly would be excessive. Thus overheight shipping methods are preferred. The weight would not be an issue as it would be shipped empty of insulating oil to simplify the crane requirements during installation (in older days something like this would be skidded into place on rollers over a timber path).
