G5s (4-6-0) numbered in
the 20’s-series pulls a string of 11 cars eastbound in the
Summer’s early evening light in 1952 through Union Hall Street
station, Jamaica. Notice the old Pennsy keystone-style station
sign still in place on the station’s covered platforms and in the
far distance can be seen the overhead concourse at
Jamaica
station, accessing the various platforms.

Looking northwest on
7/1/36, we see the depot, high-level concrete platforms and “IS” tower
at
Hollis
,
NY
. The building at the right is the section shanty. Visible in the
center of the tracks are the crossover switches to allow trains to enter
and leave Holban Yard which is located just west of the station and to the
left out of the range of the photo. A year later the tower would be
renamed “HOLLIS.” Photo from the Archive of Dave Keller

Leased Pennsylvania Railroad
E3sd (4-4-2) #3154 has left the old covered platforms at the
Oyster Bay station and is heading westbound under a full
head of steam on this cold March morning in 1936. The
3-car train is #4523 and ran to Jamaica on Sundays only.

A westbound MU train is seen in
the background, stopped at the high-level platforms that
serviced the Jamaica Racetrack station. The Locust Manor
at-grade wooden depot, with keystone name board on the wall,
is seen in the foreground. The crossover tracks and switches
are visible in the near foreground. This view is looking
east, c.1936.
The 1927 wooden shelter shed was built
nearly touching the 1898 wooden depot building.

The
Saturday afternoon Patchogue-Babylon “Scoot” consisting of BUDD RDC1
#3101 and RDC2 #3121, coupled, is heading eastbound near
River Ave.
crossing as it approaches Patchogue on April 6, 1963. In tow
is RPO (Railway Post Office) car #7743. As an aside,
this towing of non-BUDD cars caused the BUDD Co. to void its
warranty on these cars with the L.I.R.R. At the left is
Underwood Coal and Coke and in the foreground is the Ringhouse
Siding, which extended all the way from west of
the Underwood siding eastward to the west side of the Railroad
Ave. crossing (after a 1949 track rearrangement) and had a
capacity of 35 cars. One month later, demolition of the old
Patchogue terminal and engine repair facilities would begin. William Lichtenstern photo,

ORDERING:
After 45 years, it is with heavy heart that I have decided it is
time to close my darkroom permanently.
I
will continue to sell high resolution digital scans of my images.
This
allows the buyer to just retain the images in their computer files
for viewing enjoyment or, if hard-copy prints are desired, they
can be printed from these scans on personal ink-jet printers or
may be loaded on a flash drive and brought to a local photo lab
who will print them on their professional quality equipment.
The quality of these images done at the lab is amazing and hard to
differentiate from the old-style darkroom blow-ups.
Files
will be .jpegs in the 2MB to 6MB range, with negatives, slides
and/or original photos scanned at 100% size and at a very high dpi
resolution. Alternate file types are available (.tif, .bmp,
etc.)
Please
contact me for pricing.
SHIPPING:
1.
There is no shipping charge as images will be e-mailed.
2.
If total of files exceed 10MB-15MB, multiple e-mails will be sent.
3.
At the buyer's request, multiple images will be loaded onto a
flash drive and mailed in a padded, bubble mailer at
additional charge. Please contact me for these
additional charges.
Payment
required with your order:

Please contact me for acceptable payment methods.
