It's also going to be interesting on what they do with Wyandanch. Some of that money is going to be used for a second platform, lighting, a pedestrian overpass, and modifying Straight Path's Grade Crossing. I think if they have to do that, they should eliminate the road that runs South of the ROW an...

Thank you for clearing up the interlocking question on Amityville. I had no idea that Rocky was put into service until 1983! Also that Amityville never had switches before elevation. Thank You

If that's true about working West then I really need to read and learn more about why they would even do something so foolish. If anyone can post their reasoning Id' be interested in reading it. What's the benefits? Can someone here elaborate? I think the benefit would be that if they get the emban...

Yeah that always questioned me, the smokestack and the silo. I was also wondering if Amity Interlocking was built along with the elevation, because I know when Wantagh opened in 1968, Wantagh Interlocking wasn't built and put into service until 1971. I'd also like to know when the metal poles were p...

LB- Thank You SO MUCH! I just needed to be sure. By the way, the closest photo I've seen of an M1 at Amityville in the early 1970's is a photo taken by Brad Phillips on the station's first day of elevated service on August 7th, 1973, with a Babylon-bound M1 stopped on Track 2, and you can see the te...

I'm still puzzled, were the temporary stations for Amityville, Copiague, and Lindenhurst hi-level for the grade separation project?

Doc, you also have to remember that shortly after the Western Suffolk County temporary tracks were put into service, they started to lay the temporary tracks for Bellmore and Merrick. Also I was wondering, that after the NY27 bridge did it go downhill at a grade for the Unqua Road grade crossing.

In that stretch, was Amityville, Copiague, and Lindenhurst all hi-level platforms? Also did anyone see a M1 stop at the temporary Amityville station? This means did Amityville, Copiague, and Lindenhurst look like New Hyde Park or Merillon Avenue?

I was wondering if anyone has pictures of Amityville at Grade Level during the elevation? I would prefer after the temporary station opened, maybe an M1 at the station, and a description of the shoo-fly tracks to the West. I've seen photos already of the lo-level station, and the construction of the...
