Posted by Fulton Frank on Mon Aug 27 00:52:42 2007, in response to Re: PHOTOS: LIRR DM/C-3 cars at Farmingdale AND an exclusive Roslyn Road Bridge photo, posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Mon Aug 27 00:36:03 2007. Farmingdale was my home town from 1963 untill I went off to Oxford UK. Rode the Ronkonkoma to NYU and back from 1972 to 1980. The station dates 1841. It was single track. I think the north track was laid in 1918. In 1991 the town gave it a 150 yr party. I have the momento form that event right next to me here. It's a wooden train whistle you blow into. Steam loco sound. It's labeled " Long Island Railroad Farmingdale Station, 1841 - 1991".That tall structure on the station house used to house the dynamos for the Huntington Co (forgot the exact anme) trolly that ran from there out conklin St to Rt 110. I believe up to huntington and also down to amityville. The grade crossing with the curve is Meritt Rd. Just behind that curve is "B"Tower and interlocking. It's where the Central Branch (ex Stewart Central RR of LI) merges to the Main. There is no good (ie legal) acess to shot picts from there AFAIR. |
