Perhaps, but oddly enough, once the station was rebuilt, and actually had a paved parking lot, the riderhip went WAY up. It now is used more by the "Hamptons like" area south, than the northern, poorer area.I think the poorer area wanted it as an option, but sadly many of them don't have use for NYC bound traffic, they rely much more heavily there on bus routes and more local modes. It may have been the poor side that saved it, but it's the south side that uses it way more now. It's just how the cards fell over the last 20 years I guess. Here's bellport in the early 90's, it was a wreck.    And "today":  Those are all my photos. Here's Center Moriches from the 90's, I forgot to link it in my last post. It was nicer than some of the others.
