I thought we were past the nonsense of the 1960's when so many of the LIRR's station buildings were lost. Apparently we are not. I just found out that East Williston, the third oldest station on LI is on death watch.

That they could even consider demolishing such a beautiful and historic station is beyond me. I thought we were past the 50's and 60's mentality.

Just for the record, I believe Hewlett is the oldest station on LI, and Saint James is the second oldest. East Williston follows right after those two. Hopefully the comunity outcry will save it.
