Oyster Bay NY Turntable
Saturday, June 26, 2021







Hope to post more

Today at Oyster Bay NY Railroad museum it opened for 2021.
AND THEY GOT THE TURNTABLE WORKING!!!!!!!

Back in 1971 in nursery school my class took a trip to Oyster Bay station via the LIRR.
While there the railroad put the loco on the turntable and spun it around like a top.

Today though not as fast they got it working and I RODE ON IT.











more to come

I did see the turntable in action a few weeks ago. No video though.




This video from the internet shows it better than what I would have posted.

No turntable but a nice picnic table area behind the station.














Cute station area with a lot of promise for the future.

















Picturesque Oyster Bay adds to the fun of the trip.





Earlier at East Williston while waiting for the train.
