Greetings!
I am refining a trip to New England and I want to take a day to check out the Long Island RR. Right now I am slated to spend 3 days in Mystic Ct and I am looking at taking a ferry over to Long Island and then going from there.
I read Hicksville is good but I am looking for suggestions.
I want to see the EMU's and the Bi levels
Currently our plan is this.
Taking the ferry to Orient Point from New London, driving to the Greenport station Catching the 1141 inbound. I kow I have to change trains and eventually get off at Hicksville. Then spend an hour or two there and return the same way.
Any ideas suggestions? Is Hicksville station a safe area? Any other advice.
Thanks in advance!
Bob
