Regarding the SSRR’s train shed pictured above by LIRR artist Edward Lange I thought the artist may have taken “artist’s license”, however, everything else in the painting is realistic which leads me to believe that perhaps he’s correct. The 3 roof vents are spaced farther apart because this is almost a broadside view. The photo in Ziel’s book shows them closer together and that’s probably because that shot is almost head-on. Also, the shed is cut off by the edge of the photo and some trees (?). Went to Seyfried’s “Volume I: The South Side Rail Road” and the description for Patchogue station in the back of the book said a “substantial shed” was constructed in July/August, 1869 and it was 220 feet long, definitely a “substantial” shed. 220 feet is the equivalent of four (4) P54 steam cars coupled with the left over 4 feet being taken up by the couplers. You can’t go by the cars depicted in the painting because they’re not only, most probably, out of scale, but the cars back then weren’t 54 feet long, either! A 220 feet long shed could have held a 5-car train of 40 feet long varnish coaches plus engine and tender! Info: Dave Keller |

The article also said that Suffolk County's real ice cream baron, and the man who first cornered that commercial market, was Augustus Floyd Smith, of East Patchogue, starting in 1879. "Blocks of ice were cut from Robinson's Pond. Some of it was stored...and some of it was chopped and liberally salted. The salted ice was packed around a freezer container into which the ice cream mixture was poured. A horse was then harnessed to a large wheeland walked 'round and round' to agitate the paddles. In this manner Smith was able to provide ice cream to all the hotels and restaurants in Patchogue; to both Clarence and Charley Hawkins' Bellport confectionery store and, with some 'modernization' of his equipment, to the men stationed at Camp Upton during WW I." (p. 3.) His son took over in 1919, and sold out to Reid Ice Cream Corp. in 1926. Reid's Ice Cream Plant does show up on Atlantic Avenue Gene Horton's Blue Point, Long Island, New York, Then and Now. East Patchogue, NY: Searles Graphics, Inc., 1999: p. 6. At the time the "now" shot shows it still there.

A document in the
"Records of the Town of Brookhaven" pertaining to Nathaniel Smith and
Daniel Gillet's damming, written in 1832, refers to "little Patchogue
Stream". An early map of Patchogue, made sometime between 1869 and 1881,
shows it as "Little Patchogue". Moving forward to 1873, the 1873 F. W.
Beers map of Patchogue also lists it as "Little Patchogue". |

The Bailey Lumber Mill (right) went out of business in 1939 and the site was taken over by the Bruns –Kimball Company in 1940. This company was building aircraft rescue boats for the Defense Department until their contract expired. THE SUFFOLK COUNTY NEWS, SAYVILLE/N.Y. FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1946 United States Prefab Corporation took over Bossert-Bailey Lumber Mills. The United States Prefab Corporation, a subsidiary of the Adirondack Log Cabin Company, was awarded a government contract under the Land – Lease Program, to build thirty thousand prefab homes for England, but this contract was cancelled after the construction of only 300 homes. In the following years the mill complex was leased to several other firms and manufacturers. The LIRR siding was removed in 1950. Shortly thereafter, on November 22, 1951, a large fire, causing $500,000 damage, wiped out three firms leasing in the mill and damaged a fourth. The National Lock Corner Cabinet Corporation, Colonial Art, and the Castle Silver Company were the firms totally wiped out. The Castle Silver Company produced plated hollowware and was finishing surgical instruments for the Department of Defense, employing 35 people. |

Note: The rubber stamp imprint (used on regular tickets) or printer's overprint (specially printed tickets with 1H-'G' suffix) indicate the ticket was paid for by a US Government transportation request. The logo was affixed to prevent the user from returning the ticket for a cash refund (unused one-way tickets could be refunded in cash over the counter). |

As "PD" tower was in service at this time, the operator positions would have been telegraph operators, and not block operators.

A really nice action shot of an eastbound
D16b, ten were built in 1905 and 21 were built in 1906. They were
super-heated starting in 1914 and this locomotive has NOT yet been
superheated. There is a train order
signal in front of the depot, therefore this image would have to be shot
prior to May, 1912 when PD tower was placed in service and the train order
signal moved to, and operated from, the tower.

The "Canning Train" was photographed at
Patchogue on May 25, 1917. Car no. 708, a baggage and Adams Express Company
car, carried exhibits on promoting the "how to" preserve fruits and
vegetables. The signs, "Can or Collapse" and "Preserve or Perish" reflected
the strong home-front sentiments of the day. These particular slogans were
authored by the irrepressible Harold B. Fullerton, who carried out many of
the LIRR's wartime projects.
The United States entered the war on April 6th , 1917 and a month later the LIRR ran this special car. The military personnel present are probably from Camp Upton. Research: Dave Keller |

 Patchogue - Manomet Point ex-NH 8/01/1969 (Emery-SUNY Stony Brook) |
Ex-New Haven MANOMET POINT, in service on LIRR at Patchogue. In the photo, we see the car is clearly the rear car on a westbound train. The open vestibule indicates the train is stopped in the station at Patchogue. This may be a Sunday evening or Monday morning train from Montauk back to Jamaica and Hunterspoint Avenue. There are ferries between Patchogue and Fire Island, so they may board westbound passengers, including parlor car passengers, at Patchogue. LIRR did have a lightweight car numbered 2052 and named PATCHOGUE in parlor car service. This car was the former PRR six double bedroom lounge car 8135 JUNIPER FALLS, built by Pullman Standard in 1940, acquired by LIRR in September 1968, retired in 1975 and presumed scrapped. Alas, we have no photo of PATCHOGUE operating in a train at the station in Patchogue. http://dominionrailvoyages.com/jhd/lirr/patchogue.html Research: John Deasy |

The older depot was razed as of 5/16/1963. This depot was torn down before the new depot was built as the newer depot was constructed on nearly the same spot as the old depot, unlike other LIRR locations where the old building remained in service while the new depot was built and
opened on 7/30/1963. Note: The new station platform lights are already in place as the PELCO pole-climbers are very busy. |

This photo is an example; Victorian households had parlor rooms which, in many cases, had the entertainment center: piano and the Edison phonograph! The ability to transport a piano from NY City/Queens would have been nearly impossible via horse and wagon prior to the railroad.

This photo shows a PRR cab unit on the Long Island RR. It is an Erie built FM 2000HP cab unit. in Summer of 1949. The PRR had previously sent an Alco PA-1 to LI for test back in December 1948. Both of these tests were short stints. What is known is that shortly after the Erie built was on LI, the PRR placed the LIRR in Bankruptcy. In the coming year, the Trustees placed orders with FM which brought the 2000HP and 2400 HP C liners to the LIRR in the Tichy colors. All the K-4s on the LIRR went back to the PRR once the C Liners were on the LIRR in 1951. They were no longer needed for the Montauk trains as C Liners now were handling these trains. |

The Reid Ice Cream Corp. factory (of Bayport), opened in 1926, and was sold to Borden Corp. at some point in the very early 1930s. The plant officially closed its doors on October 3, 1969. This is per an article by Jo Ann McGrath. "Reid Plant in Local History." [no source indicated, but could be the Bayport-Blue
Point Historical Society Newsletter, n.d.]: pp. 3, 6. The article reports the property and factory on the market placed with McDee Realty, for $1.2 million, so it was written before the factory was demolished.
