IMPORTANT INFO: The trip is scheduled for next Friday evening, August 5th.

First meeting location: 5:00 pm 34th Street/Penn Station southbound 'A' Train platform at Motorman's position (1st car).

Second location: 6:00 pm at Jay Street/Boro Hall Station, southbound ' A' Train platform, head end.

All other aspects of the trip remain the same as in the intinerary posted below.


We take a Far Rockaway-bound A train to the last stop at Mott and transfer to the N33. From there it's a 15 minute ride to Long Beach train station. Dinner will either be at an establishment on the Boardwalk or at the Sui Szechuan Restaurant on Park Ave across from the mall. Good food and good conversation is always guarranteed!

For the return trip to Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens/LI, this can be done via a return to the A train, taking the Long Beach branch of LIRR or via local bus connections to points north and east in Nassau County.

This is a fun trip with alot of good conversation regarding trains and transportation, so come along for a dinner you'll really enjoy!

Reminder: dinner will be at the Sui Szechaun Restaurant in Long Beach. The 'Torqouise on the Boardwalk' is unfortunately closed (and has been since last year).

Come and join the railfan company on an excursion to the beaches of Rock and Long! Get a cool breeze on the boardwalk, some dinner at a great restaurant, AND excellent railroad conversation all in one trip!

Hope to see some of you at 6pm at Jay Street!
