Posted by Peter Rosa on Mon Apr 13 21:21:04 2009, in response to Re: Significant part of former LIRR Wading River Branch to become rail trail, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Apr 12 23:10:52 2009. Ronkonkoma was only built with a small island platform! (the current middle platform). WIthin about 3-4 years, they saw what had happened, and quickly added the two outer platforms, expanded the lots, etc. Later the multi level garage came, and FURTHER expansion of the lots. And even with all that, there are still cars parked all over the grass, along the woods outside the lot, and everywhere, it's utter mayhem at Ronkonkoma.It's less mayhem-ish today than it was a couple of years ago. Back then, if I drove to the station to get the 7:32 to Penn, I'd have to park close to the woods on the east end of the big southside lot. Today I can park several rows closer to the platform. Of course, the reason for this lack of crowding is scarcely a good reason. My LIRR/NYCT blog |
