What are the chances of spotting any NYA around Valley Stream? I live very close (2 minute walk) from the station, would be nice if I could catch something going through there.

Since the business still handles bulk building materials, I wonder why they don't use rail freight.
I don't think i've ever seen any freight customers around here, just wondering if they ever passed through on their way out east.Good question, for some reason I think they just use the mainline & central branch to go out east on the Montauk, but hopefully someone who knows better will answer soon.
Does NY&A ever haul track & maintenance supplies for the LIRR?No. That would be a violation of the transfer agreement.
