Nice pictures...I had been there a few times, and took these photos back in August of 2008. I guess I was there on the weekends, because I never saw cars in the parking lot and was wondering how many people actually used the stop. Looks like a few do... http://www.lirrpics.com/yaphank/tn_DSC_0585.JP...

They do (or did) exist on the Montauk in the area mentioned. (I moved to Charlotte about a year ago, so I'd have to take someone else's word for it that they're still around...) http://lirrpics.com/brightwaters_40408_mike_mcdermet.JPG This shot is looking west along Union Blvd in the Bay Shore / Bri...

Mike, St. James, all it takes is creativity, and the right spot since I live nearby, so I know all the right spots! Here's one from April of Train 605 at the break of dawn: Again, no fencing provides good low angled shots, even from the street (Lake Avenue) if you have a good telephoto lens that I ...

I've found a few good spots... One unexpectedly good spot for fall foliage was looking east from the Cold Spring Harbor platform http://www.lirrpics.com/tn_curve.jpg Taken 10/25/08 (That was originally a wider angle shot, I just cut out the telpehone poles to the right.) Also, along the Montauk east...

If one takes a look at the maps on Steve's Bay Shore page, one will see that the facility once did have a connection to the LIRR. So, not only is this concerning LIRR history, but involves it's current operations as well (with regards to having to move the tracks as mentioned previously). Again, wit...
