New Track Construction machine working right now between Deer Park station and Commack Road crossing. Pretty fascinating piece of machinery.

The now-unused spur for the propane company in Wyandanch going to be kept in case of future need, or has it been removed as part of the double-tracking project? The rear buildings are being torn down. The front building and the spur at least to the gate still exist. Whether the spur is still attach...

Passed over the Carll's Path crossing yesterday am. Could see the end of a Astro stone car sticking up at what I'm guessing is going to be the new entrance(?) to the Astro stone yard.

Are you saying that they tore down parts of the platform at Wyandanch, or are they going to shift the platform further East while tearing down the current Western end near the grade crossing? When I drove by apx half of the platform from the pedestrian bridge back towards the current station buildi...

In my travels yesterday and today along Long Island Ave: Electrical construction crews were installing rectangular boxes along the new ROW at various places on the grade from Wyandanch station to the Deer Park ave overpass.

Once the new barns are in operation are there any plans for the old barns?

For apx 5 yrs in the late '80's I worked in the large white office building just west of the intersection of Stewart and Quentin Roosevelt. I can remember every so often driving up to that intersection and seeing a LIRR C420 with 1 or 2 Reefers in tow coming back from the White Rose warehouse (now a...

The welded rail train was active again Saturday. Caught it just west of the 18th st crossing in Wyandanch during the afternoon and again late Saturday evening backing down the grade between the Deer Park Ave overpass and Wyandanch station. It was set up the same as the last time I saw it. 1 MP15ac o...

"Carll's Path and Commack Road will NOT be eliminated, and the railroad track you see with wooden ties is an old siding that will be torn out of the ground." I go over the Carl's crossing twice a day, and today while behind a school bus took a good look. That track IS OUT of the ground an...

Very late Friday night I caught 3 MP-15's (2 up front, 1 behind) slowly hauling a long welded rail train up the grade between Wyandanch and Deer Park. This morning on my way to work I saw a LIRR MOW crew was laying a set of welded rail up the grade from Wyandanch to the Deer Park Ave overpass. The r...
