Port Jefferson/Wading River Branch 1990s LIRR Station Photos

Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Feb 15 14:19:06 2018, in response to Montauk Branch 1990s LIRR Station Photos, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Feb 15 11:57:17 2018.

The Wading River Branch was sadly abandoned in 1938 or 1939. A shame, as it would be useful today. The Right of Way is fully intact however, and owned by the Long Island Power Authority. Theoretically, the line could be opened again, as the ROW could be used, but of course, that will never happen, and unfortunately, the line will remain truncated at Port Jefferson:
