Nice shots. 2 weeks ago I went by the New Hyde Park Station. They have a temporary station about 2 blocks west with pilings in for the 3rd track. Unless they use those ramps that they used at Woodside a few years ago, there will be no eastbound stops for quite a while. |

This was supposed to be completed nearly 20 years ago -- but that was before the NIMBYS got involved. Good to see it limping toward reality in any event. |

I wonder if it structurally could have survived a move ?Will the old substation remain ? Did you stop and eat at the Station Plaza diner ? Is Willis Hobbies RR inventory pretty much depleted ? |

Oyster Bay trains in both directions must use normal westbound local track. It would be better if it were to be 2 island platforms. |

Damit, I didn't think to use the parking deck for photos when I was there last.Yep, lotsa parking garage upper decks to use in Mineola. In fact, there's a new parking garage under construction. I don't know how close to the tracks it will be. I think a trip to Mineola is in order. Bill Newkirk |

Agreed 100% The design for Mineola is mind boggling-ly flawed! EB OBs will now have to foul the middle and then wb track (AND STOP ON THE WB TRACK) and they're going to have to build an entirely new eb platform, where as they could've just built the 3rd track on the south side of the EB platform. That would allow eb OBs to pull in and stop on the middle track, then proceed when wb track is clear (as currently done) while other main line eb trains could just bypass or pull in simultaneously on the southernmost track. More $$$ being spent for less operational flexibility. And then even if they go to fix the issue so eb OBs don't have to foul the wb track while making the stop, they'll still have to foul the ENTIRE main when departing Mineola. |
