The location of New Hyde Park Oil Terminal (prior Plaza Coal & Oil) is about 200 yards east of the New Hyde Park LIRR station and the New Hyde Park Rd. crossing on the north side of the LIRR Main Line. It is served every 2 to 3 days by westbound NY&A local freights. The cars are picked up in Brooklyn, hauled up the Bay Ridge Branch, then out the main line to Hicksville, where they are picked up by the westbound local. New Hyde Park Oil Terminal, opened in 1998, supplies heating oil to several local oil companies in Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens Counties. In early 2008, Ray Hart began his venture into Biofuel for a cleaner burning oil with minimal omissions. The type of rail cars used to deliver Soy Bean Oil are 50 ft Tank Cars. Loads in, empties out. Prior to Hart's new rail siding, Ray Hart, a former tank truck owner/driver was himself an oil delivery and repair man. His trucking company, Hart Transportation picked up daily loads of oil from the refineries in NJ. Info: Daniel Marra, Sr. * Plaza Fuel Co. 1420 Plaza Ave. New Hyde Park.
