THE GOOD OLE L. I. R. R.
A few weeks ago Senator Ford in his
column "C haff” devoted some com­
m en t on th e present combining tra in and-bus m ethod th e Long Island R ail­
road Is using to get passengers to and
from th e city, said comments n ot being
a hundred per cent complimentary. I
would like to suggest to the Senator
th a t h e read “Steel Ralls to th e S u n ­
rise” an d by so doing he would u n d er­
sta n d how th e waywaird child happened
to tu rn out th e way it did.
I had a very entertaining afternoon
Wihen two personable young authors;
Ron Ziel an d George H. Foster called
a t my home, as they had called on
nearly every other LIR R employee or
form er employee th a t they could lo­
cate, In search of pictures or other in ­
form ation th a t would be of value in
compiling d ata for their forthcoming
book. I am happy th a t I was able to
contribute in a small way w ith a n in ­
cident or two. They were interested In
a couple of snapshots which I hope
they WDiUfi use, b u t they came up w ith
m uch b etter ones from other sources.
Libraries, barrooms, an d photographers,
am ateur an d professional, were in te r­
viewed in th e process of gathering
m aterial. The result is a wonderful
book, w ith pictures galore, history of
th e road from its beginning, together
w ith its trium phs and trials, mostly
th e latter.
One little known fac t of the rail­
road’s early history is th a t w hat we
know as th e m ain line was built
through th e central p a rt of Suffolk
County, th e n mostly unsettled wood­
land, along th e N orth Fork to G reen­
p o rt because th e m anagem ent <^esired
to ru sh express train s tow ard Boston.
Down a t th e west end of th e Island
there developed any num ber of com­
petitive sm all railroads, operating in
and around Brooklyn, Jam aica, Rockaway, H em pstead and Flushing, all in
tim e uniting to make one big an<^
happy (?) LIRR, th e world largest
com muting road.
W hile th ere is n o t m uch m ention of
P resident R alp h Peters, who was a t
th e helm for a period of years, th ere
is m uch about one of th e earlier presi­
dents, Oliver Charlick, who m ust have
been a lulu. Among his favorite pro­
cedures was to ru n th e rails around
any village th a t fought his plans, or,
if th e rails were already laid, to have
th e sta tio n located a t a place most
inconvenient for th e villagers. Preslf’e n t A ustin Corbin was one who re ­
ceived bouquets. D uring his m anage­
m ent th e road enjoyed halcyon days
of progress an d prosperity, and even
paid dividends continuously from 1880
th ro u g h 1896.
The au th o rs show fam iliarity w ith
every type of locomotive an'^ passenger
car, past an d present. They are fully
illustrated. Of special interests to N orth
Forkers are pictures an d incidents of
snowstorms, snowplows bucking drifts,
tra in wrecks, particularly th e pickle
factoi-y wreck a t Calverton in 1926.
E ast end train s w ith monikers such as
th e Bean T rain, th e Scott, an d the
Jigger. One train overlooked was the
one we used to call th e P aper train .
I t was of th e same class, a two passener car an d a baggage car outfit th a t
ha/i connected w ith a south side train
a t E astport or Manorville, bringing ex­
press and m ail from New York and our
m orning newspaper, hence a paper
train . Due a t M attituck a t around 9:30
A. M., it usuaJly arrived any tim e be­
tween 10:30 an d 11, and on th e few
occasions it arrived on time, th e sta ­
tion employees were caught by surprise
an d came running from all directions
to m eet It and help unloa'^.
T he long forgotten steam ship lines
th e railroad operated are n o t over­
looked, b u t given several pages. There
is an article about a bike rider who
claim ed he could ride as fast as a LIR R
train , and on a specially constructed
platform between th e rails ro^e his
bike behind a train, clocking ju st a bit
under 60 seconds, and gained fame and
th e nam e of M ile-a- M inute Murphy.
And lots and lots of other features.
Its a grand book.
