Eastbound Brooklyn Central & Jamaica locomotive #1 ("W. B. Hunter," later LIRR #40 "Huntington") with one clerestory roof passenger car is making a station stop in front of the Howard House on Atlantic Ave. in East New York in April of 1865. The old, long-established hotel was located trackside at the crossing of Alabama Avenue and a station platform with kerosene lamps was constructed out front along the Avenue to service passengers to and from this establishment. In addition to being a hotel, the building was in use as a depot from 1853 until 1902. (Dave Keller data) As such, it served as the western terminus of the Brooklyn & Rockaway Beach RR's Canarsie line. It was probably the western terminal of the Brooklyn Central & Jamaica RR (1861-1867) and lastly was a stop on the Long Island Railroad from 1867 until 1902. One or more horse cars and, later, trolley lines terminated here. (Art Huneke data)

we tie the 2127 and 101 up on Track 8 in the East Yard so the engines can be fueled in the following hours. Photo/Archive: Benjamin Lederer

Remember when the LIRR Concourse at Penn Station looked like this (photo right)? As warm as the station is today during the summer months, it used to be warmer! Until the entire LIRR terminal in New York was rebuilt in the mid 1990's, there was no air conditioning at all! When this photo was taken on a winter day in the mid-1980's, everybody was dressed to stay warm, and nobody was thinking about those hot summer days ahead. Photo/Archive: Jay Bendersky

Philadelphia & Reading Railroad inter-line ticket Philadelphia, PA to LIRR, Babylon c.1880's Usually the coupon is the transportation portion of a ticket and a stub refers to the agent’s stub and/or the part of the ticket kept by the passenger (on those tickets which had a passenger’s copy), neither of which have any value.
