Bogie location?

Too many tracks for New Hwy wye in Farmingdale/Pinelawn, any ideas?

Betting on Greenville - the other crane was located there. The staging sorta looks like a publicity photo to me.

At this location:

Steve,

Looks like the other half of the bogie move on New York Cross Harbor In Greenville, NJ. I think the Budweiser trucks do 2/3 round trips a night from New Jersey to keep the Long Island warehouse in East Yaphank, NY supplied. Tough to beat with the bogie service.

"...Tough to beat with the bogie service...." Please define, thanks. It is a 1991 photo.

The trucks make a few round trips a night. In the late 80’s, early 90’s by the time you loaded the trucks on bogies then floated them across the harbor to Greenville, those Bud trucks on the LIE probably made 6 round trips or more vs the bogies in a few days. Long story short not nearly competitive enough with one driver making all those trips.

Thank you. A purely cost/performance issue!

Maybe it's not on the island. Those cars were shipped somewhere.

Somebody in the paint shop goofed! "LIRR" is the AAR reporting mark for Lapeer Industrial Railroad, a 1-1/2 mile long shortline in Lapeer, Michigan, which is a short piece of old New York Central line interchanging with Canadian National. The paint shop guy shoulda painted "LI" on the bogies, which, of course, is the AAR mark for Long Island RR. Honest!

Its in Greenville.

Lapeer Industrial did not come to be until 1999, long after the Bogies (and Ore cars), both of which used LIRR. Fun fact, Lapeer Industrial is owned by a former LI'er.

A much more in depth read on the Bogies.
