You still have to go through a formal closure procedure with hearings. There are political risks, as they found the hard way with St Albans with its 1 train at the time, with a van size load of people headed to the VA Hospital.So basically, let sleeping dogs lie when there is nothing to gain. They didn't give a shit if it would have saved Oyster Bay commuters 5 minutes. |

I understand that about the Queens stations. The Suffolk stations had something. It proves my point further that since there was no infrastructure, therefore no gain to getting rid of them |

Ive been geeking out over such an idea for a very long time. Ive designed a light rail system for Queens and parts of Brooklyn that would take over various functions.The first line would take over the LIRR Atlantic Avenue Branch It would have stops at Atlantic Avenue Terminal Nostrand Ave Utica Ave East New York Woodhaven Blvd Lefferts Blvd Queens Blvd Jamaica Station The montauk branch would have the same stops as the proposed project The airtrain from Jamaica would be coverted to light rail and stops would be made at Jamaica Station 109 Avenue Linden Blvd Foch / Rockaway Blvds Then lines would enter JFK terminal and loop 1 thru 8 or vice versa A North-South Branch would extend the Howard Beach portion of the airtrain and then follow the A line and the old LIRR line with stations at Casino 101 Avenue Atlantic Avenue Jamaica Avenue (A connection would be built to the lower montauk branch) Union Turnpike / Woodhaven Blvd Metropolitan avenue Yellowstone Blvd Rego Park - Whitepot Junction After Jamaica a branch would head out east on a new structure above the LIRR main line stopping at York College - Guy R Brewer Blvd 177 st - Liberty Ave Farmers Blvd - Hollis Ave Francis Lewis Blvd Queens Village Hempstead Ave - Belmont Racetrack Of course theres more but for now thats where Im at |

Richmond Hill had some strategic importance in case of a prolonged service disruption on the J.As for the others, here's a cynical yet plausible theory. The LIRR operated their own freight until 5-1997. A freight crew picking up equipment elsewhere and laying it up in Fresh Pond, or one of the smaller yards, would be paid back on paper to their original terminal. Joe Public is better off not knowing how railroaders make their money, so let's just say there are a few different ways of calculating that deadhead, and there are definitely times when the presence of a train station at Fresh Pond, and occasionally Haberman, would have saved the LIRR some penalty payments. NYAR takes over, and the stations close soon afterwards. But the "out of sight, out of mind" explanation also makes sense. If the eastbound Oyster Bays show up at Jamaica when they're supposed to, who cares where they stop? It's not like the stations were costing much in maintainance money either. |

Had the "Super Express" gone in service circa 1988, residents and politicians along the line would have demanded stops in their neighborhood. |

Simply put, the LIRR is in exanstance primarily for the passengers of Nassau & Suffolk Counties. Attitude being Queens & Bklyn has its subways & busses. The Whitestone branch was eliminated primarily due to its many grade crossings. The rationale for closing Elmhurst was the nearby IND Subway. The Rockaway Beach branch was abandoned a/c the Green Bus running up & down Woodhaven Blvd and Atlantic Ave.IIRC with the last Subway strike, LIRR trains highballed all Queens Stations for fear of dangerous overcrowding & causing serious delays.

Chris-- I found some stuff on the 1980 closings. It would seem that Setauket became something of a local political football, and one can infer that Blue Point and Bayport were closed in similar circumstances.From Derek Stadler's website, regarding Setauket station: "In early April-1980, Suffolk County cut off the $5,677 a year it paid for operation and maintenance. Another legislator, John Rosso made the station a campaign issue in 1979 calling the expenditure on the a slab of concrete since the early 1970s ridiculous.[103] On the other hand, MTA spokesman David Plavin said the State Legislature put a cap on the amount the MTA charged for maintenance so the real costs exceeded what Suffolk paid. Under state law, Suffolk paid $5,140,000 for operation and $2,736,984 for maintenance, and was billed for service county-wide even though the law required a station-by-station breakdown." After 1980, all station closings in diesel territory were done to avoid conversion to high platforms for lightly used stations. The continued existence of the local stops all the way to 1998 does not make much sense, but I don't know if a satisfactory answer can or will be found. Perhaps there was some agreement between the MTA and the city that was mutually agreeable. The station at Fresh Pond may have had some use as an employee stop. Or maybe as others have suggested the stations were forgotten about-- the station closing policies seem to have been reactive, only done to avoid future expenditures or too much political egg on the railroad's face. |

I forgot the main line east of KO... easy enough to do... as per Stadler's website again, Calverton was closed in response to the 1980 station maintainance lawsuit from Suffolk Co. Jamesport and Cutchogue hung on until 1985, not sure why they got a brief reprieve... Southold was on the block too, and was retained instead of Cutchogue. |

Simply put, the LIRR is in exanstance primarily for the passengers of Nassau & Suffolk Counties.

Bayside gets superb LIRR service. Why don't St. Albans and Rosedale get similar service? (There may be a reason, but I don't know it.) |
