There seems to be a lot of vacant land or junk commercial about a mile east that can be a yard.The trouble with the Kings Park spur is that it has been converted to a trail and a grade crossing needs to be reestablished in town across a very congested 25A and past a fire house. There would be several trains crossing per hour, not just the Sunday afternoon hospital train and a weekly freight. The ROW to Wading River is owned by the electrical utility, which I think is called PSEG now. I don't see any possibility of getting any of that back. I believe the LIRR still owns the Central Branch to Bethpage, but then deal with the Garden City NIMBYs who would go ape shit when the Circus train ran once a year. Given how the LIRR chickened out in Mineola and designed something badly flawed, they won't do anything there either. I think Manorville - Eastport is still available for some alternate routings to the Hamptons. |
