Roadside Remnants
Caboose C-57
This caboose is currently on display at the Schiff Boy Scout camp in Wading River, NY. It is fully restored and it is slated to get repainted this year.

Long Island Expressway Visitor Center Car
This railway car, was formerly at the LIE exit 49 rest area. It was an ex-LIRR P54D coach #7921. This car had been saved for preservation after use on the 1976 heritage train. It was eventually moved to this location, and converted into a tourist center. In the latter part of 2006 this car was eventually moved and unfortunatly scrapped. 7921 had been offered to the Twin Forks Chapter of the National Railway Historial Society but was turned down due to its severely dilapidated condition and was not a feasable candidate for restoration.

All throughout Long Island, there are many locations along the way that record or reflect remnants of the railroads. Some of these are privately owned, on display or stored. This page will show some examples.
