Unless you are a Long Island Railroad historian you probably have never heard of the Goose Creek station even though most of us have passed its location many times. The station opened in 1888 and was closed sometime in the 1930’s. It is safe to say that with one notable exception none of us ever caught a train there. The station was one of four built on the long Jamaica Bay Trestle. It was located at mile post 8.8, just over a mile south of BEACH tower on the mainland. Jamaica Bay in the 1880’s was a popular fishing spot and the railroad sought to capitalize on this by building some small islands and putting a station on them. (The Raunt is another) The station at Goose Creek consisted of two side platforms connected by an overhead bridge. Hotels and other building would then be built for the use of the fishermen. Unfortunately their idea of waste removal in those days was to build an outhouse out over the bay on some piling. This was done in the hope that the tidal action would carry the waste material away. It didn’t and these “fishing holes” quickly became polluted and the fishing died off. Tunnelrat used to Crab from there with a chicken neck on a string!! |
