Schumer Backs Second LIRR Track in Farmingdale

Hi All,

Just found this article from Farmingdale Patch about Senator Schumer Backing a Second LIRR in Farmingdale. Click link for more information on this project.

And for more information about the Historic Farmingdale Railroad Station, click on this link from Wikipedia that has detailed information on the Farmingdale Railroad Station's history, platforms and tracks, and more .

Click on this link to the library catalog for a book on 'The History of Farmingdale Railroad Service 1841-1991, written by Edward J. Thompson. Note that we have two copies of the book - one copy is in the local history collection; the other copy is in the reference collection. Note also that both copies remain in the library, but you certainly can read the books in the library.

You also might want to click on this link from the Farmingdale-Bethpage Historical Society. The link goes to a page that talks about Farmingdale the LIRR.

Enjoy the information!

Regards,
Stu
