“History of the Oyster Bay Branch of the LIRR”
David D. Morrison
Community Church of East Williston
The Long Island Rail Road was chartered in 1834 and is the oldest railroad still operating under its original name in the country. It has played a vital role in the history of Long Island during the past 185 years. The Oyster Bay Branch, built between 1865 and 1889, extends just over fourteen miles from Mineola and has five of the LIRR’s thirteen station buildings from the 1800s, including the only Victorian-style station. The Oyster Bay Branch is one of the most historically significant and picturesque branches of the railroad. The presentation includes an update on the restoration of the terminal station, turntable, and steam locomotive No. 35 in Oyster Bay. David Morrison, is a retired Branch Line Manager for the LIRR who has written seven books on the LIRR. Copies of his photo-history of the Oyster Bay Branch and his newest book on the LIRR’s Main Line east from Bethpage to Greenport will be available for purchase ($20) and signing.
Snow date (if needed) is Sun. Feb. 10.
More information, and directions, are provided on our Calendar page. There you will also find information about past and future meetings.
Take a look around!
