Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Jul 28 11:51:10 2007, in response to Re: Update: with Richmond Hill (Re: Abandoned LIRR stations), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sat Jul 28 11:46:02 2007. I think the proximity of the el killed off any ridership. With a cheaper alternative which actually goes into Manhattan, why would anyone in the area choose this station? Of course, if Jahns had an employee who lived in Oyster Bay, this station would be VERY convenient...for him or her. The only time this station is of any value is during potential Amtrak strikes which would lock the LIRR out of Penn Station. It can be used as an x-fer point from LIRR diesels to the J line at 121st St (this was actually done in 1987). |
