Many a time in the 1960's, my mother would take me down there on a Sunday visit, bought a ticket from the agent, whose office was imbedded in the wall (living in Woodhaven back then) to Grandma's in Cedarhurst.About 5 minutes before it would come, the MP54 headlight would SLOWLY start to glow as it came around the bend from ENY, then get brighter and brighter until it was like an alien space ship as it entered the station because you could see NOTHING but that bright headlight. It was fun watching that MP54 act like a subway train and screech to a halt. Then off we went. About a block east was a coffee shop restaurant with a stuffed swordfish hung up on an interior wall. I think it was called "The Shell Restaurant". |
