Posted by ntrainride on Wed Jan 18 23:03:04 2006, in response to Re: Richmond Hill, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jan 18 13:25:05 2006. I rode it occasionally in the `70s and `80s. Used to take it from L.I.C. to Richmond Hill or Fresh Pond, or from R.H. to Penny Bridge, which never failed to get puzzled looks from the conductor. Couple of times, I rode from Mineola to Richmond Hill, when it was an Oyster Bay run. I wanted to get a feel of using it like an honest transit line. (I can only say that it felt...different...to use Richmond Hill as my "city terminal".) And it was always cool to be able to watch the train depart up the tracks as I stood on an empty "platform" amidst the industrial landscape, bright and early. Most definitely a Twilight Zone train ride. |
