hondajohn: Looks like you did your homework pretty well here. I agree with you that the railroad grade hugged Stillwell Lane and I had likewise concluded that Woodland was the railroad alignment but I could never figure out exactly how to connect them--I suspect what grading might have existed betwe...

Re: Greenport Line question

Allow me to clarify a couple of things about LIRR nomenclature. First, the LIRR "main line" does not go to Penn Station. The tracks between Harold Interlocking and Penn Station, i.e. Lines 1 through 4, are owned by Amtrak. In 1910, when Penn Station opened, these tracks belonged to the Pen...

Interesting that you are discussing this picture. I usually have better notes so I had to scramble a little to reconstruct it from the scrawl in my calendar and my rapidly fading memory. It's Sunday, December 28, 1969. The L-2 is on the main, eastbound, at GREEN Interlocking (Kings Park, now FOX 2)....

Paul:

I stand corrected. The Janssen creamery was on the Bel-Del. I was mixing it up with the Henry S. Chardavoyne wholesale milk depot. Chardavoyne was a Brooklyn businessman and also had milk stations at McAfee (on your list, Keystone) and Woodruff's Gap.

I am quitee late to this discussion but I thought I would mention that there was a creamery opposite Mansfield Street In Belvidere, owned by F.W. Janssen. The creamery was the Delaware Creamery, also the name of the creamery on the DL&W in Delaware. Janssen was a Hoboken dealer who from what I c...
