132-693: County routes in Suffolk County, New York , are maintained by the Suffolk County Department of Public Works and signed with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices -standard yellow-on-blue pentagon route marker. The designations do not follow any fixed pattern. Routes 26 to 50 (including former suffixed routes of CR 50) are listed below. County Route 26 was the designation for New Suffolk Road from Mattituck to New Suffolk , and New Suffolk Lane from New Suffolk to Cutchogue. This designation
264-461: A Rustic Road system where local routes are purposefully maintained as dirt or gravel roads in order to not interfere with natural scenery and preserve them in their past state. County highway markers are usually a yellow-on-blue pentagon (the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices standard pattern) or a black-on-white square (largely older signs). Some states, like Virginia and North Carolina , have no county highways in most of their counties:
396-688: A bridge above the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road , the easternmost LIRR bridge to exist. The name Cranberry Hole Road continues until the intersection with Bendigo Road (former CR 33A and CR 74). From there it the road becomes Promised Land Road. Both segments of CR 33 ran along the northern edge of Napeague State Park , and continued to run through the park even as it turns southeast onto Napeague Meadow Road. Promised Land Road continues northeast as Lazy Point Road where it enters "downtown" Napeague. The former route crosses
528-530: A clearance of at least 14 feet (4.3 m). A new street would be carried across the line east of Hillside station. The LIRR planned to replace existing stations at Hillside and Union Hall Streets with more up-to-date facilities with full length concrete high-level platforms. The estimated cost of the project was $ 2,460,000. On December 6, 1923, the Transit Commission ordered the LIRR to extend 195th Street under
660-428: A complicated arrangement of signals and switches to the east of the station within two weeks for nearly $ 100,000 to allow eastbound express trains in the evening rush hour to bypass the station via the station's westbound tracks. The LIRR was in the process of planning improvements to the station's west to allow westbound express trains in the morning rush hour to run via the station's eastbound tracks. On July 10, 1956,
792-542: A continuation of Oak Street, which heads south to connect with the town's main street before crossing over to the Dune Road beaches. Heading north, this arrow-straight portion of the road crosses the Long Island Rail Road 's Montauk Branch railroad tracks and then runs through the grounds of Francis S. Gabreski Airport , a former base of the United States Air Force , which is now home to the 106th Rescue Wing of
924-717: A county council was the responsible highway authority . Main Line (Long Island Rail Road) Distances shown from Long Island City The Main Line is a rail line owned and operated by the Long Island Rail Road in the U.S. state of New York . It begins as a two-track line at Long Island City station in Long Island City , Queens , and runs along the middle of Long Island about 95 miles (153 km) to Greenport station in Greenport , Suffolk County . At Harold Interlocking approximately one mile east of Long Island City,
1056-504: A few feet of Queens Boulevard at Lefferts Avenue (now Boulevard) and then curved sharply southeast around the southern edge of Maple Grove Cemetery, slowing service. The land for the right-of-way to the west of Lefferts Avenue was acquired from the Cord Meyer Development Corporation , while the land to the east was purchased from Alrick Man, the founder of the urban neighborhood of Richmond Hill . While he had to sell
1188-547: A letter. Many counties in Ohio use markers to designate county roads. Ohio's county roads vary widely in construction, signage, and naming from county to county. Seneca County uses the default blue pentagon marker and limited signage (generally only at intersections); Logan County uses a square white marker with a black border (similar to the St. Louis County design in Missouri) and signage
1320-522: A narrow, 11'6" bridge under the tracks for Nassau Boulevard; this bridge was replaced with a 14"-high bridge as part of the Main Line Expansion Project in October 2019. In November 1963, the LIRR announced a plan to shorten the platforms at Forest Hills and Kew Gardens by 300 feet (91 m). The railroad's justification was that ridership at the stations was low, and did not warrant repairing
1452-548: A northerly direction. The northeastern end runs beneath a low bridge for the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road where it intersects with Railroad Avenue (the former location of Brookhaven Station ) before finally terminating at Montauk Highway. Originally part of Montauk Highway , the road was created on February 24, 1930, when it shared a designation with NY 27 which was part of Montauk Highway at
SECTION 10
#17328685653121584-522: A number (usually one or two digits), a single letter followed by a one- or two-digit number (i.e.: V-34, A-29), or in Rock Island County, with letters like Wisconsin but on a blue pentagon marker. These highways are usually marked at the beginning of the highway and occasionally throughout the route; they cannot be relied on as geographic directions the way more major highways are (state or interstate). In New Jersey , there are two sets of county routes:
1716-667: A portion of the tracks of the Flushing Railroad between Winfield and Hunters Point. Floral Park station was built between October and November 1878 as "Stewart Junction," for the junction between the LIRR Main Line and the Central Railroad of Long Island built by Alexander Turney Stewart . Five years earlier the CRRLI had bridged the LIRR, and the station served as a connection between both lines. Connecting tracks were available at
1848-508: A supplement to the LIRR's charter passed March 12, 1860 authorized it to buy the NY&;J and build a new main line from Jamaica to Hunters Point . The LIRR carried through with the NY&J purchase on April 25, along with the purchase of a short piece of the Brooklyn and Jamaica at Jamaica. The new line to Hunters Point was officially opened on May 9, 1861, with regular service starting May 10, using
1980-409: A third track between Divide and Queens Interlockings and a fourth track between Queens and Harold Interlockings. East of Ronkonkoma to Greenport, the line is not electrified and trains operate in non-signaled dark territory , with all train movements being governed by timetable and train order authority . Passenger service east of Hicksville station is covered by Ronkonkoma Branch timetables, as it
2112-590: Is Deer Park Avenue between the Village of Babylon / Town of Babylon line and New York State Route 231 in North Babylon . It was a former segment of CR 35 that was established in 1970 when the New York State Department of Transportation created (what was intended to be) a temporary alignment of NY 231 . The Village of Babylon used to maintain the section of CR 34 within the village. However,
2244-517: Is a little known suffixed route that runs concurrent with NY 27 (also known as North Highway or the Southampton Bypass) between North Sea Road and Montauk Highway . East of David Whites Lane, CR 39 was intended to be rerouted onto the formerly proposed Hampton Bays–Amagansett Road. While all businesses on this short stretch of highway use "County Road 39A" for the street name, it commonly known as part of CR 39. The entire route
2376-556: Is former Highway 620, which had a change in supervision. This is to be contrasted with survey township roads which exist in Alberta after the 1981 Alberta rural addressing system was introduced. Range roads will run north to south, while (survey) township roads run east to west. Highway 620 in Ontario, was downloaded to the Peterborough and Hastings county governments, and in one section,
2508-1303: Is given a signed number, can be called a county road. Depending on the state or province and county, these roads can be named after geographic features, communities, or people. Or they may be assigned a name determined by a standardized grid reference: "East 2000" would be a north–south road running 20 blocks/miles/km east of the designated zero point. Many other variations are also used. Many locales have somewhat arbitrarily assigned numbers for all county roads, but with no number-signage at all or only on standard street name blades. County roads and highways vary greatly in design standards, funding, and regularity of maintenance. Some county highways in urban areas are freeways or expressways . County roads that link communities or serve residential areas are often indistinguishable from state highways or residential streets. In rural areas, many county roads carry very little traffic and are maintained infrequently. They may be in poor condition (if paved) or not paved at all. In remote areas, county roads may be sand, gravel, or graded earth, only occasionally seeing foot, equestrian, and four wheel drive traffic. Some states, such as Wisconsin, use county highways in great numbers, linking major highways and cities or towns to each other. Wisconsin also maintains
2640-490: Is known as Deer Park Road East. CR 35 is the last intersection with Old Country Road before both move north and intersect with NY 25. After this intersection, CR 35 narrows down to two lanes and becomes Park Avenue, which turns to the northwest at the 2nd Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department before intersecting with CR 86 in west Elwood . At the north end of Dix Hills Road,
2772-519: Is located in Montauk . County Route 31 is a short north-south county highway running across rural eastern Suffolk County . The road serves as a connection between Westhampton Beach and the Riverhead area, feeding directly into CR 104 as it makes its way north. The road begins at Montauk Highway ( CR 80 ), just north of the downtown area of Westhampton Beach . It serves in function as
SECTION 20
#17328685653122904-515: Is nearly comparable to state route signage, with advance signage of intersections with county roads and termini; and Scioto County uses a marker with a county outline. In Canada , numbered county roads are only found in Ontario , where they are similar to American county highways. Ontario county or regional roads are marked with trapezoid-shaped signs, usually (but not necessarily) with a white, black, green, or blue background, and normally identifying
3036-657: Is not included on CR 28's route. County Route 29 was an unsigned county route connecting CR 93 to the Long Island Expressway . The road was widened during the period that the Ronkonkoma Station was facing major reconstruction itself, and included a replacement for the wooden bridge that previously crossed over the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road . The CR 29 signs were installed between 1989 and 1995, but have since been taken down. Within
3168-574: Is only recognized by the SCDPW or by the New York State Department of Transportation between Southampton Village and North Sea. As far back as the 1930s the road was planned to be extended along the north shore of the South Fork of Long Island to the Amagansett–Promised Land area. Besides the existing segment of North Sea Road (and the former segment of Noyack Road), the new segment was to begin at
3300-562: Is signed as CR 39. County route A county highway (also county road or county route ; usually abbreviated CH or CR ) is a road in the United States and in the Canadian province of Ontario that is designated and/or maintained by the county highway department. Route numbering can be determined by each county alone, by mutual agreement among counties, or by a statewide pattern. Any county-maintained road, whether or not it
3432-504: Is the final connecting point to other services. The Main Line has one track from just east of Long Island City , where it splits into two tracks just before Borden Avenue, which continue through Hunterspoint Avenue station to Harold Interlocking (HAROLD, 0.6 miles (0.97 km) northwest of the Woodside station), where the four track Northeast Corridor from Penn Station in Manhattan joins
3564-604: Is used by all trains operating to New York Penn Station and Grand Central Madison , both in Manhattan. The portion between HAROLD and the Long Island City station is used by trains originating or terminating at Hunterspoint Avenue or Long Island City. East of Jamaica station, the Main Line is used by all trains on the Hempstead Branch (diverging east of Queens Village), the Oyster Bay Branch (diverging east of Mineola),
3696-559: The 500-series (500–599), part of a statewide system which usually run through multiple counties, but are county-maintained; and the non-500 routes which are usually contained within a single county and are repeated in different counties. The latter generally use numbers in the 600-series; some counties have routes in the 700s and 800s. Two counties, Bergen and Monmouth, along with some routes in Ocean County, have routes outside this range with one- or two-digit numbers along with some numbers in
3828-512: The New York City Board of Estimate approved the plans for bridges at Union Turnpike and Ascan Avenue, but did not approve the plans for the bridge carrying Quentin Road and Lefferts Avenue over the line as these streets were not yet included on the city's map. The plans were modified in 1909 to add bridges at Penelope Avenue and Ascan Avenue. The grading of the right-of-way and the laying of track
3960-524: The New York State Department of Transportation , as well as the Suffolk County Department of Public Works, deems that CR 34 exists outside of the Babylon village limits. Outside of the village limits, CR 34 crosses over New York State Route 27 (Sunrise Highway) as part of Exit 40, which is primarily for NY 231 to the east. Though CR 34 terminates at NY 231 in Deer Park, just south of
4092-536: The New York State Department of Transportation . County Route 30 was the north-south road along the east side of Lake Montauk , known as East Lake Drive. The east side of this road consists of parts of Montauk County Park , a residential enclave, and Montauk Airport . The road terminates at the a parking lot north of the Inlet Seafood Restaurant on the Block Island Sound . The entire route

4224-492: The Panic of 1837 severely curtailed construction. Construction on the line to Greenport resumed in 1840. It was extended to Farmingdale on October 15, 1841, Deer Park on March 14, 1842, Brentwood on June 24, 1842, Central Islip on July 14, 1842 and Yaphank on June 26, 1844. An opening excursion to Greenport was operated on July 27, 1844, and revenue service began over the full line on July 29. The city of Brooklyn banned
4356-544: The Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road , which has been the site of many tractor-trailer accidents, and was the original location for the first "Low Ground Clearance" warning sign. The next major intersection after this crossing is Broadway, which runs west towards Huntington Station . Here, CR 35 becomes an unconventional two-lane divided highway, where the divider ends at Tasman Lane. As it goes downhill, CR 35 passes by three Jewish Centers and
4488-471: The Southern State Parkway 's exit 39, Deer Park Avenue continues northward as NY 231 well into Dix Hills . Before its current designation, CR 34 was assigned to Greenlawn Road, today a portion of CR 9 along with Cuba Hill Road, until the late 1960s. The entire route is located in North Babylon . County Route 35 serves as a de facto extension of NY 231 , spanning from
4620-781: The Town of Huntington 's Hilaire Woods Preserve before approaching the Huntington Arts Cinema at the southwest corner of NY 25A . North of NY 25A, CR 35 runs along the eastern edge of Heckscher Park , makes a northeast turn at Sabbath Day Path, and then passes Huntington Memorial Hospital before reaching NY 110 . The two routes share a short concurrency between two traffic circles , before CR 35 exits and proceeds west towards West Shore Road. County Route 35 continues northward, then westward (unsigned) along West Shore Road before officially terminating at Landing Road (just east of Gold Star Beach Park). County Route 35A
4752-516: The 100s. New Jersey's county routes are usually signed just as well as state routes (with mile- and half-mileposts), and will appear on freeway exit signage. In Iowa , secondary roads are defined simply by the Iowa Code as "those roads under county jurisdiction." The 99 counties in Iowa divide the secondary road system into farm-to-market roads and area service roads. Farm-to-market roads are maintained by
4884-751: The Cemetery, and during this period, the managers of the cemetery made arrangements to have visitors transported free of charge to the Richmond Hill station on the Montauk Division . The tracks were relaid during September and October 1882, and the line was rebuilt as a double-track line with iron rails. The line was reopened on October 25, 1882 for freight only to allow the Montauk Division to be exclusively used for passenger service. Service resumed on May 30, 1883 with one daily train in each direction after
5016-693: The County State Aid Highway Fund. Differences in signage between CSAH routes and other county roads depends on the county. Some counties, such as Stearns County, delineate between the two by using the standard blue pentagon marker for CSAH routes and a normal white square marker for other county roads. Most county roads in Minnesota are designated with numbers, although a few non-CSAHs in Dodge County utilize letters. A few roads that cross county borders are also signed with an inter-county designation and
5148-462: The East Hampton Beach section of Napeague . Though the extension was dropped due to anti-highway sentiment, the official description used to include the extension, which was 25 miles. County Route 38A is a former spur of CR 38 known as Noyack–Long Beach Road. Today the road is designated as CR 60 . County Route 39 is North Highway in the town of Southampton . Most of
5280-473: The LIRR Montauk branch for the second time, but this time it is at an at-grade crossing, where it enters a section of Napeague formerly known as East Hampton Beach, before finally terminating at Montauk Point State Parkway (NY 27). County Route 33A was for Abrahams Landing Road and Bendigo Road. It was a former suffixed route of CR 33, that is now unmarked CR 74 . County Route 34
5412-717: The LIRR began work on a $ 750,000 project to install reverse signaling on the 15.7 miles of the Main Line between Divide Interlocking in Hicksville and Hall Interlocking in Jamaica. The project modified existing signaling with remotely-controlled switches. Along with additional crossovers, this would enable peak-direction express trains to bypass local trains by using the track that was currently being used for infrequent reverse-peak service. This would enable running times on existing expresses trains from Hicksville to be reduced, and allow local trains to make additional stops west of Hicksville. Under

5544-411: The LIRR from using steam propulsion within city limits effective July 1, 1851. The railroad refused to comply until early October, when they stopped freight and passenger trains at Jamaica, directing passengers to take Fulton Street stages to Bedford and transfer there to "Jamaica Line" stages. Laws passed on April 19, 1859 allowed for the appointment of commissioners, empowered to contract with
5676-557: The LIRR received a $ 22,697,500 federal grant from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) for the project. The total cost was estimated at $ 45 million. Construction on the project began in 1968. On October 19, 1970, the LIRR's $ 69 million electrification project from Mineola to Huntington was completed. The project was funded through grants from UMTA and a New York State Transportation bond issue. 16 miles (26 km) of track were electrified as part of
5808-573: The LIRR said that it would seek permission in 1937 to abandon the three stations along the Main Line between Jamaica and Pennsylvania Station—Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, and Woodside. The LIRR had said that it anticipated a loss of annual revenue between $ 750,000 and $ 1 million with the opening of the extension of the Independent Subway System 's Queens Boulevard Line to Jamaica. Westbridge station closed on January 1, 1939. On August 15, 1955, LIRR officials announced that it would install
5940-562: The LIRR to close the Cobble Hill Tunnel , cease using steam within city limits, and instead run horse cars for freight and passengers to the city line or East New York , connecting with steam trains to and beyond Jamaica there. By the fall of 1861, both use of steam as propulsion and of the tunnel had ceased. In order to maintain access to New York, the LIRR chartered the New York and Jamaica Railroad (NY&J) on September 3, 1859, and
6072-689: The LIRR undertook the construction of the Maple Grove Cut-Off for $ 500,000. The Cut-Off shortened the Main Line by 328 feet (100 m), and sped up service with the construction of a new straightened four-track route that ran at a lower grade. The Cut-Off branched from the original line about 400 feet (120 m) north of Ascan Avenue in Forest Hills , and continued to 84th Drive in Kew Gardens, or about 700 feet (210 m) east of Lefferts Avenue. The original line ran straight from Winfield to within
6204-639: The Main Line after passing through the East River Tunnels . East of HAROLD, the four-track Main Line runs adjacent to the two-track Port Washington Branch until, 0.7 miles (1.1 km) southeast of the Woodside station, the Port Washington Branch turns northeastward. The Main Line continues southeast with four tracks to JAY Interlocking where it meets the Atlantic Branch and Montauk Branch at
6336-580: The Main Line and two for the North Side Railroad (now Port Washington Branch ), with seven steel viaducts carrying the LIRR diagonally over the intervening street grid. A temporary Woodside station near 61st Street and Woodside Avenue opened in April 1913, replacing the old Woodside station at 39th Avenue and 58th Street. When the project was completed in November 1915, both the temporary Woodside station and
6468-480: The Main Line between Winfield and Jamaica from one track to four tracks, with two additional tracks between the Glendale Cut-Off and Winfield. 40 grade crossings were eliminated as part of the project. In addition, the line was electrified using a third rail . This was expected to reduce the running time between Jamaica and Sunnyside Yard from 18 minutes to 12 minutes. To speed up service through Kew Gardens,
6600-507: The Main Line east of Floral Park to Mineola were electrified by October 1926. The Oyster Bay Branch, which left the main line at Mineola, was partially electrified in June 1934 north to East Williston station . New York City applied to extend 199th Street and 202nd Street across the Main Line in Queens. On September 26, 1928, the Transit Commission ordered to extend 202nd Street across the line below
6732-511: The Main Line east of Jamaica station and a crossing at Hillside on the Montauk Division to complete the elimination of grade crossings on the Main Line east of Jamaica within city limits. The LIRR accepted the order and expected to begin construction on the project following the completion of the Queens Elimination project. As part of the project, grade crossings at New York Avenue, Puntine Street, Smith Street, Canal Street, Brenton Avenue with
SECTION 50
#17328685653126864-511: The Main Line in Hollis. Work was complete soon afterwards. Work began on the Jamaica Elimination project in October 1929, and was completed in 1931. At the same time, work was done to extend 177th Street under the Montauk Division. The total cost of the project was $ 5,897,000. The grade crossings were eliminated by raising the line onto an embankment between retaining walls. Stations along
6996-426: The Main Line, allowing for increased peak direction capacity without adding additional tracks. The signaling project would also install automatic speed control and interlocking improvements. To provide interim benefits from reverse-signaling, one block reverse signaling was installed on the eastbound Main Line 2 track, allowing westbound diesels in the morning peak to head west by signal indication, reducing congestion on
7128-444: The Main Line, and at South Street with the Montauk Division would be eliminated. Existing grade-separated crossings at Union Hall Street, Washington Street, and Prospect Street, which crossed over the rail line would be modified to be under-grade crossings. At the time, the Main Line tracks were elevated at Jamaica, and then descended on a steep grade to the east of the station to a level 20 feet (6.1 m) lower. After Hillside station,
7260-655: The Mud Creek County Nature Preserve, a protected area controlled by the Suffolk County Department of Parks and Recreation . Other protected land exists along Strongs Creek and Abet's Creek in Hagerman , the latter of which used to be the location of a greenhouse. The last intersection outside of the village of Bellport is Munsell Road, a pre-automotive era road that once went as far north as West Yaphank . The 1899-built Bellport County Club serves as
7392-649: The New York Air National Guard . North of the base, the road continues through a section of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens , which feature the indigenous dwarf pine. This area fell victim to a widespread wildfire that burned a significant portion of the core of the Pine Barrens in 1995. The section of CR 31 within the village of Westhampton Beach is ceremoniously dedicated "Volunteers Way" in honor of volunteer first responders to
7524-499: The Port Jefferson Branch (diverging east of Hicksville), and the Ronkonkoma Branch (terminating at Ronkonkoma, the eastern limits of the line's electrification ). Some Montauk Branch trains use the Main Line on their way to Babylon via the Central Branch , diverging east of Bethpage . Only a few diesel shuttle trains, informally known as scoots , operate between Ronkonkoma and Greenport . The Main Line opened beyond Jamaica to Hicksville on March 1, 1837; shortly afterwards,
7656-435: The Suffolk County Department of Public Works or the New York State Department of Transportation recognize that portion of the roadway as CR 32, just the Ponquogue Bridge portion. The formerly proposed Ponquogue Causeway was intended to either run parallel to or replace CR 32 between the 1930s and 1960s, but the roadway never came to fruition. The entire route is in Hampton Bays, New York . County Route 32A
7788-426: The Sunrise Fire. The road widens as it crosses NY 27 , with which it has a full cloverleaf interchange. About one-half mile beyond this interchange, the road ends at a traffic circle with CR 104 . Between January 18, 1961 and May 23, 1972, CR 31 was extended south of Montauk Highway between Oak Street and Mill Road (formerly CR 100). Mill Road was intended to be converted into part of
7920-475: The United States, county highways are denoted or signed in various ways, differing by state. In Wisconsin , county highways are marked with letters—with one- to three-letter combinations (i.e.: C, CC, or CCC). Wisconsin's county highways are frequently and clearly marked at most intersections. Because county road names are not exclusive, a state may have many county roads with similar or identical names. In states like Illinois , county highways are marked either with
8052-461: The built-up portion of Richmond Hill. Man built streets through the property of the old golf club, and built elegant homes close to the new railroad station, creating what is known as Kew Gardens today. On November 20, 1908, the New York Public Service Commission approved the LIRR's application to complete the Maple Grove Cut-Off. Limited construction began on the Cut-Off in November 1908, with real work beginning in March 1909. On December 4, 1908,

#17328685653128184-400: The completion of the project to 60 percent. With the opening of this track, service in both directions was relocated from the previous level, 20 feet (6.1 m) below the embankment level, to the embankment, allowing the old tracks to be discontinued, and for five grade crossings to be closed. In February 1924, work on the project was expected to be completed in May, though it was completed in
8316-401: The construction of a new grade-separated route within Woodside to increase train capacity, which was limited by the previous at-grade routing. Land acquisition for this reroute, dubbed the "Woodside/Winfield Cut-Off", starting in 1908. In order to provide fast service for the opening of the Pennsylvania Railroad 's East River Tunnels in 1910, the Long Island Rail Road completely rebuilt
8448-874: The county and, paid for from a special fund: the Farm-to-Market Road Fund consists of federal secondary-road aid and 8% of Iowa's road use taxes. The farm-to-market road system is limited to 35,000 miles (56,000 km). Unlike most states, Iowa's signed secondary roads are not numbered on a county-by-county basis. With exception to County Road 105 , secondary roads use a uniform numbering grid using one letter and two or three numbers, e.g., E41. County roads running primarily east and west are assigned letters (from north to south) A through J. County roads running primarily north and south are assigned letters (from west to east) K through Z. The letters I, O, Q, and U are not used. In Minnesota , some county roads are known as county state aid highways . These roads are constructed and maintained by counties, but they are eligible for funding from
8580-569: The county or region responsible for the road's maintenance, sometimes with the jurisdiction's coat of arms or corporate logo . The county road network has been present for many years, but has only been signed with the flowerpot logos since the 1970s and early 1980s (depending on the area). Previously, the roads simply had road names, such as "Essex Road 42" or "Kent County Road 14", and so on, but had no markers to designate them. Many Ontario county roads are built to provincial highway standards, as thousands of kilometres of highways were downloaded from
8712-495: The crumbling concrete. These sections of platforms had been installed in about 1929 to allow the stations to accommodate full-length trains. This move was opposed by civic groups, and resulted in an investigation by the Public Service Commission . However, the platform extensions were removed by March 1964. Prior to their removal, the platforms extended to the overpass at 82nd Avenue (formerly known as Onslow Place). A staircase from each platform allowed passengers to enter and leave
8844-436: The day. As part of the MTA's first capital program, the signaling system on the Main Line between Jamaica and Penn Station would be upgraded to reduce congestion and allow for increased capacity. The project would construct a new control center at Penn Station, allowing for remote control of Harold Interlocking, redesign Harold Interlocking, modernize towers and switching systems at Penn Station, and install reverse-signaling on

Republic Road and CR 28 terminates 0.41 miles north of the line at CR 5 (Ruland Road) in Melville ; however, just to the east of this terminus is a de facto extension called Maxess Road, which leads to the eastbound service road of the Long Island Expressway between NY 110 and CR 3 (Pinelawn Road). This extension, however,
9108-529: The existing service plan, the number of stops local trains could make were limited to avert delaying express trains following behind them. On July 10, 1956, to the west of Hicksville, a pre-fabricated bridge that would hold automatic signals was installed. The first 6.3-mile section, between Hicksville and Mineola, was completed in early 1957. Completing this section required the installation of three sets of crossover switches, over 400 electrical relays, housed in 18 steel cabinets, 1,500 feet of pipe for air lines for
9240-420: The fall. The new station at Bellaire opened on September 20, 1924 with high-level platforms. The project to eliminate the five grade crossings cost $ 2,500,000, while the project to extend Cross Island Boulevard under the line cost $ 75,000, and the project to do the same for Bellaire Boulevard (211th Street) cost $ 60,000. On January 16, 1923, the Transit Commission ordered the LIRR to eliminate five crossings on
9372-475: The formerly proposed Port Jefferson–Westhampton Beach Highway . County Route 32 is the Ponquogue Bridge , the main two-lane highway between Ponquogue Point on Westhampton Beach Barrier Island and the mainland, which, through a maze of roadways, connects to downtown Hampton Bays . The route used to be designated north of the bridge along Lighthouse Road, Foster Avenue, Shinnecock Road, and Ponquogue Avenue to Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays , but neither
9504-525: The gates at the crossings were down. It was decided to construct the grade separation on an elevated structure rather than in an open cut so as to not interfere with the city sewer system and as it would require ridiculously steep grades. The existing bridges at Prospect Street, Washington Street, and Union Hall Street were very old, had steep grades of over 8 percent on either side. The steep grade starting west of Prospect Street caused many delays for westbound service as trains had to increase speed before going up
9636-638: The grade and could not operate as slowly as would be necessary for efficient train operations at Jamaica. As part of the plan, the Main Line would be increased to eight tracks, four of which would connect with the four-track right-of-way starting at Hollis. Two tracks would allow freight traffic to go to Holban Yard without having to use the Main Line tracks as was done at the time, and the two other tracks would be used for Montauk Division trains, which would no longer need to cross Main Line tracks at grade. The line would be built on embankment with concrete retaining walls, with all crossings to be made below grade, with
9768-561: The grade of the line, and to create a pedestrian only underpass for 199th Street. The plans for the crossing at 199th Street were approved on April 17, 1929, while the plans for 202nd Street were approved on August 19, 1931. In 1931, it was expected to begin work in 1932. On March 17, 1936, at a hearing of the New York State Transit Commission and the New York State Public Service Commission,
9900-462: The hamlet of Brookhaven. The entire road is two lanes wide, with exceptions for provisions for left turns at some intersections. South Country Road begins on the east bank of the Swan River at the intersection of Montauk Highway and Lake Drive, with a four way intersection that includes an eastbound connecting ramp. Almost immediately it crosses the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road after
10032-555: The highway was downloaded further to the township of Wollaston , and is now signed Wollaston Township 620, with a municipal sign similar to an Ontario tertiary highway . A number of townships in Wellington County sign their township road system in a similar manner. In England and Wales , county road , as alluded to in section 29 et seq. of the Local Government Act 1929, was the term used to refer to any road for which
10164-452: The interchange with Southern State Parkway where the road narrows down to two lanes. According to the New York State Department of Transportation , CR 28 is split into two sections: the signed portion that is New Highway between NY 27 and the Southern State Parkway , and the unsigned Republic Road between the Town of Babylon / Town of Huntington town line and CR 5 (Ruland Road). The road begins at NY 27 just west of
10296-601: The intersection of CR 2 (Straight Path), and an Educational Bus Transport garage for school buses and intercity buses of Suffolk County Transit . This section of the road then curves towards the old section which runs along Trinity Cemetery, the site of the former Zahn's Airport , and behind the Sisters of St. Dominic Motherhouse Complex , which was previously known as the Queen of the Rosary Academy. After bi-secting Albany Avenue,
10428-425: The intersection of Brick Kiln Road then continue southeast until it reaches Town Line Road, where it would curve east. The CR 38 extension would gradually move southeast again, running along the headwaters of Northwest Creek and Three Mile Harbor, through Barnes Hole, and Devon until reaching Promised Land Road (former CR 33), which it would replace until it reached NY 27 (Montauk Point State Parkway) in
10560-455: The intersection of Robinson Avenue. The former East Patchogue Station was located west of this intersection ( Hagerman Station was further east along the line). Luxurious houses line the road from most of this point on. The bridge over Robinson Pond has a similar appearance to the one on Montauk Highway over the Forge River between Mastic and Moriches . On the opposite side of Robinson Pond is
10692-503: The introduction of electric service to Penn Station using the Maple Grove Cut-Off. The first train left the station at 4:14 a.m. The first passenger boarding at Kew was also the first passenger to pass through the gates at Penn Station. The present Jamaica station was designed by Kenneth M. Murchison and built between 1912 and 1913 as a replacement for the two former stations in Jamaica. Both former stations were discontinued as station stops. The 1912–13 "Jamaica Improvement"
10824-618: The jurisdiction which maintains them, they may instead be designated as a Regional Road , Municipal Road , Regional Highway , County Highway , District Road , Township Road , or City Road . In the unincorporated districts of Northern Ontario , as there is no county level of government the province maintains a secondary highway system to serve the same function. In addition to county roads, many civil townships also have concession roads and (civil) township roads, such as Colchester South Road 3, and Concession 8. These usually do not have markers (only names on signs and maps). One exception
10956-602: The line on an embankment and constructing bridges, and two new streets were extended underneath the line, at Bellaire Boulevard and Cross Island Boulevard. In addition, the line was four-tracked and electrification was extended to Floral Park. Bellaire and Queens stations were rebuilt with concrete high-level platforms that could accommodate eleven-car trains. Pedestrian subways were constructed between platforms at Floral Park and Bellerose, station platforms at Hillside and Hollis were extended new interlockings were installed at Floral Park and Queens, and an automatic block signaling system
11088-430: The line went up on a more gradual grade and rose to approximately the same elevation at Jamaica Station at Farmers Avenue in Hollis. All the at-grade crossings in the section were heavily trafficked, and buildings and other obstacles obstructed views of the crossings. The Canal Street crossing had seven tracks, while the others had five tracks. During the summer, car traffic would pile up for several blocks on both sides when
11220-437: The managers of the cemetery made a request to the directors of the Long Island Rail Road. In 1886, the station was moved 40 feet (12 m) to provide space for a lawn and flowerbed. After Hopedale station closed in 1884, this was the only station on the Main Line between Winfield and Jamaica, and as of 1897, the line was mostly used for freight, with the exception of some passenger service during commuting hours. The line
11352-410: The northern terminus of CR 52 (Sandy Hollow Road), and moves directly north towards the hamlet of North Sea. The route ends 500 feet north of the intersection with Millstone Brook Road, just before the roadway reaches the "downtown" portion of North Sea. CR 38 used to continue eastward from North Sea to Noyack via Noyack Road, and, eventually, Sag Harbor . The route's mileage and designation
11484-519: The northern terminus of NY 231 and the Northern State Parkway in Dix Hills northwest to NY 110 in the hamlet of Huntington. The road originally included NY 231 and CR 34 until 1970, when the New York State Department of Transportation turned the segment between Southern and Northern State Parkways into the temporary alignment of NY 231, before the hopeful transfer of
11616-610: The old at-grade right-of-way. A grade crossing at Charlotte Avenue to the west of the station was removed in 1969. The LIRR was acquired by New York State in 1965 and was put under the control of the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA). It authorized engineering studies for the extension of electrified service along the Main Line from Mineola to Hicksville , then along the Port Jefferson Branch to Huntington . On June 13, 1967
11748-517: The operation of switches, and about 42 miles of cable and wire. In December 1957, the project was expected to be completed by the end of the year to Floral Park, and in 1958 to Jamaica. The equipment was provided by the Union Switch and Signal Company. On April 22, 1957, work began on a $ 12,500 project to extend the station platform at Hicksville by 470 feet to allow trains to stop without blocking grade crossings at Broadway and Jerusalem Avenue. Work
11880-508: The original Winfield Junction station on the old routing were replaced by stations along the new route. Work on the Queens Elimination Project, which extended from a point 2,000 feet (610 m) west of Bellerose station to Hollis station, was completed in 1924. As part of the project, five grade crossings, at Hempstead Turnpike, Springfield Boulevard, Bennet Avenue, Wertland Avenue, and Madison Avenue, were eliminated by placing
12012-469: The project were constructed with concrete floors, heavy steel girders, and watertight steel. On September 8, 1910, the line between Long Island City and Jamaica was electrified, and service to Pennsylvania Station was inaugurated. Initially, service consisted of 101 trains in each direction to the Hempstead, Far Rockaway and Long Beach branches. On September 8, 1910, the new Kew station opened along with
12144-421: The project, four stations would be eliminated (Grumman, Republic, Pine Aire and Deer Park), eight stations would receive high-level platforms (Bethpage, Farmingdale, Pinelawn, Wyandanch, a new Deer Park stop, Brentwood, Central Islip and Ronkonkoma). The platforms at Farmingdale and Bethpage were replaced as part of a separate program. In addition, the line would receive new signaling, additional passing sidings, and
12276-482: The project. Diesel service on this section was replaced with electric service running directly to Penn Station, eliminating the need to change at Jamaica, and saving passengers an average of 15 minutes. This was the LIRR's first new electrification project since 1925. Union Hall Street closed on May 20, 1977. Some people in the area were already under the impression the station was closed. Some time before, wire fences were installed to seal Union Street, which passes under
12408-728: The property of the Richmond Hill Golf Club and 25 acres of estate, he still owned a lot of the land in Richmond Hill, and therefore financially benefitted from the move. Since the golf course was going to be cut in half by the railroad, Man closed the course in 1906, and decided to sell the course and turn it into a residential community. The right-of-way initially had room for six tracks, of which four tracks were built. The two additional tracks would have been used for freight. The LIRR's right-of-way increased from 50 to 60 feet (15 to 18 m) to 150 feet (46 m). Crystal Lake, which
12540-415: The province to counties and regional municipalities in 1997 and 1998, and most of the downloaded highways were rolled into the county road systems. In some situations, these in turn were downloaded from the region/county to the local municipalities. Not all jurisdictions in Ontario which maintain a numbered road system use the name "County Road" to designate them, however — depending on the official name of
12672-553: The road approaches an at-grade crossing of the Central Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and immediately intersects NY 109 . After the immediate intersection with NY 109, CR 28's southern section terminates with the Southern State Parkway , but the roadway continues northward on the south and eastern circumferences of Republic Airport . North of the industrial zone in East Farmingdale , Republic Road regains
12804-586: The road is concurrent with NY 27 , where it is known as the Southampton Bypass, except for the portion along the Shinnecock Canal and the Great Peconic Bay . This section has an interchange with NY 27, both at the beginning of the freeway portion (Sunrise Highway) and the first interchange (exit 66). The multiplex between NY 27 and CR 39 was only meant to be temporary, since NY 27
12936-488: The road narrows down to two lanes and contains frontage roads for residences. From there, the road serves as the east end of Maplewood Road, where it briefly overlaps with New York State Bicycle Route 25A until it reaches the west end of Little Plains Road, a block away from Little Plains Park. The road briefly becomes four lanes wide again at the intersection of CR 11 , but narrows back down to two lanes. Continuing northwest, CR 35 has an at-grade crossing with
13068-403: The road onto the formerly proposed Babylon–Northport Expressway . The south end of CR 35 and CR 66 and the north end of NY 231 was intended to include a formerly proposed North Deer Park Avenue Spur leading to the unbuilt expressway. The segment of CR 35 between NY 231 and NY 25 is four-lanes wide and is known as Deer Park Road West, as opposed to CR 66, which
13200-466: The southwest corner of the bridge at the station, and on the northwest corner of the bridge west of the station. It was renamed "Hinsdale" in 1879 with the closing of the CRRLI depot of the same name along the Creedmoor Branch , then renamed "East Hinsdale" in 1887. That same year, the station gained a control tower known as "Tower #47." Apparently due to the presence of the florist John Lewis Childs ,
13332-449: The state government maintains all roads in unincorporated areas. In West Virginia , the state maintains secondary roads though they may be designated as county routes. Other states, like Connecticut , have no county routes because there is no government at the county level. Alaska 's county-equivalent boroughs maintain roads in unincorporated areas but none are numbered. Louisiana 's county equivalent of parishes have parish routes. In
13464-429: The station from its western end. On September 12, 1964, a grade-crossing elimination project at Hicksville was completed, with the new station being located on an elevated structure. The $ 15 million project eliminated seven grade-crossings, provided 556 parking spaces, and rebuilt the Hicksville station as a three-track station with two 1,235 foot (376 m)-long island platforms. The parking spaces were built along
13596-469: The station replacing Maple Grove on the Main Line. The LIRR stated that the station would continue to receive service. Provisions were left for future crossings at Roman Avenue (72nd Avenue), Puritan Avenue (75th Avenue), and Allegheny Avenue (77th Avenue). The floor system of the Union Turnpike bridge was designed to allow for two trolley tracks to pass over it. All of the bridges completed as part of
13728-592: The station was renamed "Floral Park" by 1890. On January 1, 1881, Austin Corbin took over the Long Island Rail Road and sought out to install new rails on the Main Line from Winfield Junction to Jamaica. In February 1881, all service on the Main Line was halted, and this station was temporarily abandoned at this time. Starting in April, the old rails were torn up and used on the South Side Railroad of Long Island . The temporary abandonment inconvenienced visitors to
13860-419: The station, to car traffic. An opening was left to allow people to reach the staircases to the platforms. In October 1979, work began on a $ 525,000 project to extend the platforms at New Hyde Park station to accommodate ten-car trains. At the time, the westbound platform was eight cars long, while the eastbound platform was four cars long. The work, which also required some renovations to the station building,
13992-605: The streets bordering the Bellport Village Historic District , which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. Just outside the village at Mott's Brook, CR 36 passes by the Gateway Playhouse , which was established in 1941 on the grounds of a former farm owned by J. L. B. Mott. Well past the intersection of Bellhaven Avenue, the road begins to turn north as it follows
14124-619: The time. It was completely turned over to Suffolk County on July 17, 1932, when the state of New York realigned Montauk Highway on the north side of the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road . Since then it has been used as the main road through the village of Bellport . Until the late 1980s, flood insurance maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency have misrepresented South Country Road as being NY 95 . South Country Road has never been either NY 95, nor CR 95. County Route 37
14256-465: The town of Islip, the road is named Smithtown Avenue. After it crosses the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road and simultaneously the Town of Islip – Town of Brookhaven town line, it becomes Ronkonkoma Avenue, a name that continues north of the terminus of I-495 until it reaches Hawkins Avenue in Lake Ronkonkoma. The route is no longer recognized by the Suffolk County Department of Public Works nor
14388-620: The tracks from the East River Tunnels and 63rd Street Tunnel into Manhattan intersect with the Main Line, which most trains use rather than using the Long Island City station. Continuing east, five branches split from the Main Line. In order from west to east, they are: West of Ronkonkoma station , the Main Line is largely double tracked and electrified with 750V DC third rail , with trains governed by Automatic Block and Interlocking Signals and by Automatic Train Control . The line contains
14520-526: The two former freight tracks on the south side of Hall tower. Just east of there, Montauk Branch trains get their own two tracks in the center of the four Main Line tracks until the Montauk tracks fly over the other tracks and head southeast. At QUEENS Interlocking, just inside Nassau County between the Queens Village and Bellerose stations, the four-track Main Line splits into the three-track Main Line and
14652-418: The two track Port Jefferson Branch begins and curves to the north. At Hicksville, the Main Line reverts to two tracks. From FARM Interlocking (just east of Farmingdale station), the Main Line continues to Ronkonkoma, except for some freight sidings along the route. The Main Line west of Jamaica to Harold Interlocking is the only line that connects to the East River Tunnels and the 63rd Street Tunnel , so it
14784-485: The two-track Hempstead Branch (with one track shared by both lines); the four tracks continue parallel to Floral Park station, after which the Hempstead Branch curves away southward and the three-track Main Line continues east to Mineola . East of Mineola, the Oyster Bay Branch splits from the northernmost Main Line track and curves to the north. The Main Line then continues east from Mineola to Hicksville , where
14916-633: The under-construction Queens Boulevard near 67th Street, as well as the need to construct the elevated IRT Flushing Line over the new route at 61st Street. Work on the Winfield project resumed in 1912, and the following year, the Dual Contracts finalized the plans for the Flushing Line. The project entailed building six electrified tracks between Woodside and the Winfield Junction station, four for
15048-399: The unofficial border of the historic village of Bellport, New York . The intersection with Bellport Avenue to the north and Bellport Lane to the south is the heart of Bellport. Bellport Avenue leads to the town's LIRR station , but also through North Bellport , the edges of Yaphank and Medford , and once lead as far north as Gordon Heights . Bellport Lane, along with CR 36, is one of
15180-456: The west bank of Beaver Dam Creek, which is hidden off to the east. Very little evidence of this or any other waterway exists along this section of the road until it reaches a hidden driveway leading to a Yacht Club near the southeast corner of Beaver Dam Road. Most of the houses along the road appear to be far more Victorian from this point on. For a moment, the road curves back to the east before intersecting with Fireplace Road, then heads back into
15312-546: The west end of Jamaica station. Eight platform tracks and two bypass tracks pass Jamaica station, along with a few yard tracks and two former freight tracks on the south side that can be used by trains bypassing Jamaica. At HALL Interlocking just east of the station there are eight through tracks: two usually westward tracks for Main Line and Montauk trains, two Atlantic Branch tracks that are about to duck under and turn southeast, two usually eastward Main Line/Montauk tracks, and
15444-504: The west side of Huntington Harbor. The road was integrated into CR 35; however, it was later transferred to the town of Huntington. County Route 36 is a former segment of Montauk Highway known as South Country Road. Though it is signed as an east–west road, it runs southeast to northwest from CR 80 ( Montauk Highway ) and Lake Drive in East Patchogue into Bellport , and northeast to southwest back to Montauk Highway in
15576-454: The westbound tracks. This operation started in May 1983. These projects were expected to cost $ 66.2 million. At the time, in 1983, the Main Line west of Jamaica heading to Penn Station was at capacity, with 40 trains using the two Main Line tracks in the peak direction. In 1983, the LIRR recommended electrifying and double-tracking sections of the Main Line from Farmingdale to Ronkonkoma. As part of
15708-513: Was Manwaring Road on Shelter Island. It began at NY 114 and ran east toward the intersection of Ram Island Road, Saint Mary's Road, and Manhassett Road. County Route 38 is the connector road along between the village of Southampton and North Sea . It begins at the intersection of NY 27/CR 39 on the north border of the Village of Southampton. After this intersection, it continues northwest towards Tuckahoe , where it approaches
15840-508: Was an extension of CR 35 that ran north of NY 25A then made a northeast turn at Sabbath Day Path before reaching NY 110 . It was eventually absorbed into CR 35. This segment runs along parkland east of Heckscher Park and is the location of Huntington Memorial Hospital. County Route 35B was Deer Park Road East and today is CR 66 . County Route 35C was an extension of CR 35 northwest of NY 110 that included Mill Dam Road, and West Shore Road on
15972-479: Was centered around Union Hall Street, 0.6 miles (0.97 km) east of the new station at Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue. The LIRR thus decided to add a new Union Hall Street station in 1913. (The Union Hall Street station closed on May 20, 1977.) Meanwhile, the Winfield relocation project was delayed due to uncertainties about certain portions of the project, such as the new trestle that had to be erected across
16104-459: Was completed by September 1909. On July 26, 1909, eastbound trains started running over the Maple Grove Cut-Off. On July 30, westbound trains began running via the cut-off with its completion. Following the completion of the Cut-Off, riders who patronized the Richmond Hill station on the Montauk Division were concerned that passenger service to their station would be discontinued, requiring them to use
16236-536: Was concurrent with CR 32 from Montauk Highway to the LIRR station. County Route 32B was Foster Avenue and the former Ponquogue Bridge. It was integrated with CR 32. County Route 33 was the designation for Cranberry Hole Road, Promised Land Road, and Napeague Meadow Road. The entire road is a former routing of Montauk Highway . CR 33 began in Amagansett at the intersection of NY 27 and Bluff Road as Cranberry Hole Road, and carried over
16368-449: Was double-tracked to Hicksville in 1890. The line was electrified to Queens Village and Belmont Park on October 2, 1905. On May 26, 1908, the line was electrified to Floral Park ; Hempstead Branch stations southeast of Floral Park were electrified on the same date. The line was triple-tracked between Bellerose and Floral Park in 1908. Around the same time, the construction of Pennsylvania Station and Sunnyside Yard necessitated
16500-421: Was expected to be complete about May 6. To complete the project, changes were made in the handling of express and freight operations, a switch was moved, and tracks in the freight yard were relocated. The LIRR had completed similar platform extension projects at Manhasset, Bethpage, Westbury, Copiague, Malverne, and Brentwood. Merillon Avenue station was rebuilt in 1958, featuring a smaller structure, as well as
16632-741: Was expected to be completed in four months. On February 1, 1980, the LIRR, in response to audit released by the state comptroller on November 16, 1979, submitted a proposal to close 29 stations, including Kew Gardens, to save $ 250,000. The audit evaluated ticket sales in 1976, and recommended that stations with fewer than 60 transactions per hour be closed. Thirty-nine LIRR stations fell in to this category, but ten were not recommended for closure, either because they were terminals or switch locations. In addition to Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, East Hampton , Westhampton , Sea Cliff and Locust Valley would be completely closed. The other stations would have been closed on weekends, every day but Monday, or closed half of
16764-436: Was in the path of the Cut-Off, was drained in 1909. As part of the initial agreement, bridges over the new right-of-way were to be built over Quentin Road (now 80th Road) and Lefferts Avenue. The Maple Grove station was moved from its location 500 feet (150 m) south of Kew Gardens Road (old Newtown Avenue) to a spot 600 feet (180 m) south along the north side of tracks on the west side of Lefferts Avenue, closer to
16896-405: Was installed between Floral Park and Hillside. Telephone and telegraph lines were constructed as part of the project, as was a freight yard at Queens, and a storage yard east of Floral Park for electric local trains. On December 17, 1923, the first track on the embankment opened for service in the westbound direction. On January 7, 1924, a second track, an eastbound one, opened for service, increasing
17028-513: Was merged into CR 27 before that route was replaced by CR 48. County Route 27B was Wickham Avenue, a former segment of Middle Road that is now owned by the town of Southold. County Route 28 is a north-south road in southwestern Suffolk County known as New Highway and Republic Road. Officially designated as the Corporal Tony Casamento Highway , the road is a four-lane undivided highway between NY 27 and
17160-527: Was proposed to be moved to the Sunrise Highway Extension. Like CR 38, Suffolk County was planning to extend CR 39 east of Flying Point Road through CR 79 (Bridgehampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike) at the proposed Sunrise Highway Extension, and if necessary as a substitute for the Sunrise Highway Extension. These plans also date back to the 1930s, and included what became part of the proposed Sunrise Highway extension. County Route 39A
17292-516: Was proposed to be relocated to the formerly proposed North Brookhaven Expressway , a former eastern extension of NY 347 from Mount Sinai to Wading River . County Route 27 was the original designation for Middle Road on the North Fork of Long Island. This road is now known as CR 48 . County Route 27A was a newer section of Middle Road in Mattituck called New Middle Road. It
17424-457: Was the final step in consolidating the branch lines of the LIRR. To the west of the station, Jay Interlocking was built, and to the east, Hall Interlocking was constructed. These interlockings allowed any line to reach any other line, allowing easy transfer between lines at Jamaica station, which is the hallmark of current day LIRR service. When the new Jamaica station opened, residents of Jamaica were dissatisfied with its location; downtown Jamaica
