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)

The new Oyster Bay
Railroad Museum M7 Simulator is an experience in which the visitor sits in
the cab of a real Long Island Railroad electric M7-class multiple unit
railcar, and using the controls in that cab, operates a computer train
simulation game which depicts the experience a Long Island Railroad engineer
would have in the real engineer's cab. The computer simulation game is "Train Sim
World 5 and LIRR Commuter" and we are grateful to its owner, Dovetail
Games, for the special permission granted the Museum in the use of same.
The experience which
we now offer opens at the station platform at Hempstead, Long Island and, if
taken to the end of the trip, terminates just before Pennsylvania Station in
Manhattan. The full trip takes about an hour if the visitor stops the train
at each stop along the way, although Museum visitor traffic may require each
person's experience to be shorter. All use of the M7 Simulator is overseen
by our Simulator Supervisor, so anyone of any age is welcome to try their
hand at the experience. For more photos and information

Pennsylvania Station NY City
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.
