That shop sold mainly Radio Control but he did sell trains Charlie was the man who owned it he died recently of cancer
Ironically where the station building is now is a small strip mall behind it and there WAS a shop there but it closed 1970 1971
Though been converted a coaling station is still in Sea Cliff it is no a gravel company
AND the turntable at Oyster Bay STILL functions last time I saw it was 1970 nursery school trip
Spun the engine around like a top
The road where the bridge is located is called Back Road
Also a unused siding is further down the line before Roslyn
The Switch Tower in Locust Valley was in a issue of Model Railroader

Interesting information on those areas on the Gold Coast of Long Island.
Sad to hear about the death of the Glen Head hobby owner.
A day in the life for me yesterday April 2 2020.
Burger King at Glen Cove New York.
Long Island Railroad train station at Glen Street in Glen Cove New York.
First of two stations in Glen Cove.
Restored recently.
Multiple curves at the station site.
Attractive station.
Crossing by the station and Burger King restaurant.
Another set of crossing signals at Glen Cove.
Attractive church a few blocks away.
Second Glen Cove station about a mile away.
Next to a golf course in the scenic area of the town.
Classic design and restored.
Former switch tower at Locust Valley New York.
Crossing signals at Locust Valley.
Two track line becomes one track trek to Oyster Bay.
Has a country branch line look once it becomes a single track route.
Cool stone bridge east of Locust Valley.
The view from the other side of the stone bridge.
Pretty single track route next to a narrow highway.
New bridge seen about a mile east of Locust Valley station.
Some quiet scenes during my walk.
Bridge at Mill Neck New York enters the former station site.
After videotaping a train I continued my walk to Oyster Bay.
Pretty scene as night arrives. Near Oyster Bay train station.
Phone ran out of power soon after so a return trip will happen.

The Locust Valley switch tower is now used by the local police force assigned to the village.
Was named Locust Tower when it controlled the switch east of the station.
Becomes a single track line about a hundred feet past the road crossing.
Was remote controlled from Mineola. May now even be remote controlled from Jamaica.
I have my videos from Thursday travels.
Long Island Railroad train leaves Locust Valley New York station.
Long Island Railroad train enters Glen Cove New York station.
Hear the horn from an approaching train.
That Long Island Railroad train enters Mill Neck New York.
Earlier I videotaped my backyard with views of one of the N scale layouts I built.

This is what happens when my best friend leaves his car at my house for a couple of weeks. Had a crack in the rear plastic bumper that was driving me crazy looking at it. Also some paint chipping here and there. Had to weld it and prep, and repaint. Removed a dent in the right fender with new paint also.

That Staircase in the Penn Station shot is a remanant of the original station
Did you ride the overhead line that you pick up at the station's top floor?
Dis you see the streetcars still in some parts?

I passed your area on Monday heading to Oyster Bay.
Oyster Bay train station being rehabilitated. Yard and end of tracks just east of the station.
LIRR train at the present station with the engine ready to push the five car set westbound.
The front of the train with a cab control car. Looking eastbound.
Looking westbound as the track heads to New York City.
Park between the bay and the train station.
Very few people there that late afternoon.
Easy to practice social distance.
Windy pleasant breeze.
Cool day at the bay.
Some seagulls and geese remain.
Night approaches.
Time to leave soon.
At Mineola New York heading home that night.

Engine 35 is still a very long way to become presentable.
Operation seems decades away. Even when she is ready to run it would not be allowed.
Active commuter rail line would prohibit steam engine operations.
I am heading back to Oyster Bay right now. On the bus to Williston.
Will take more photos. Meanwhile some videos from Monday.

One thing is certain, that box will prevent any major damage. I've had one too many trains damaged in transit by the USPS.

I have been receiving trains since 1999 and that USPS has not damaged one of them.. I've had them packed in everything imaginable. Expensive cars parts, expensive car Paints, etc none damaged! I had two pieces get lost for a while but showed up. UPS crunched a large bird cage years ago probably because it was heavy...

I took a two day trip to Lancaster Pennsylvania last Thursday and Friday starting in New York.
Taken at Trenton New Jersey when I missed my SEPTA train connection. So I took the light rail train to Camden New Jersey.
I saw some derelict buildings in Trenton which I felt were pretty cool.
After taking the NJ Transit light rail train to Camden I transferred to a PATCO subway train to Philadelphia.
I got off at the last stop at 15 Street in Center City and walked to 30 Street Station.
I saw a nice mural of the Phillies baseball team during my walk.
I continued my walk toward the Amtrak train station.
Nice sunny afternoon in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.
Enjoyed the walk especially across the Schuylkill River.
I reach the Amtrak station in the late afternoon.
Inside the station as I wait for the Amtrak train to Lancaster.
I am on the Amtrak train to Lancaster at a stop in Downingtown Pennsylvania.

I arrived in Lancaster at 6 pm. Started to get dark.
I took a Red Rose Lancaster local bus to my friend's neighborhood. Bus was almost empty with very few passengers.
After getting off the bus I walked to his house. I bought some snacks for him and his wife.
After meeting with them at their house I saw their nice HO layout in the basement.
I gave them some train items to add to their collection. I was there for about two hours.
Getting late so I left and walked back to the bus stop. Nice evening.
I am on another empty bus back to Lancaster. A few passengers did get on.
After arriving in Lancaster I walked to the train station to see the last Amtrak train arrive from Philadelphia.
Then I walked to the nearby hospital to spend the night outside for the next five hours.

During the night it got colder. An entrance at the clinic offered shelter inside.
I took advantage of that during my five hour wait for the first local bus to meet another friend.
I left Lancaster at 5 am and arrived at the last stop to wait for him.
He arrived at 6:30 am and we greeted each other.
I gave him some items and we talked a bit. But he had to leave early for work.
After he left I walked to Lititz to start the next day's adventure.
Cute caboose by the new train station in the middle of the village in Lititz.
A popular place to buy local chocolate candies.
Some views in Lititz Pennsylvania.
Next town I visited is Ephrata Pennsylvania.

I took a few buses on my second day in Lancaster using a bus daily pass only $3.70. Great deal.
Overcast day but still nice to view the countryside. My phone power was gone by the time I visited a hobby store.
Cool Trains store has a nice selection of new and used items at the store.
With the rain arriving and getting tired I took the Amtrak train back east.
I got off at Downingtown to connect to the SEPTA train. My phone was charged on the train.
The train left so I waited for the next train.
Meanwhile an Amtrak westbound train appears.
Seems to be a Pittsburgh bound train since it has more cars than the Keystone local trains.
Moves quickly thru the station area.
Cloudy with rain starting again.
SEPTA train appears about ten minutes later.
This train heads to Philadelphia.
I took it to connect in Philadelphia to another train to Trenton. NJ Transit train afterwards to New York City.
Subway and bus there to my neighborhood. Wonderful two days to see friends and scenery.
Sunny one day and cloudy the second day. Will revisit in early May to bring new memories.
