While visiting the Island last week, I noticed at Greenport, the main line ended just feet from the water, with a slight turn to the right for the last couple of yards. The dock is named Railroad Dock (Peir?). I noticed in a picture from the 40's that the yard at Greenport was a lot larger. My questions are, did the LIRR used to put trains on barges here, and if they did, how many, and when? Thank-you ancients....
