I have 4 new booklets that I will add soon. Here is 2 of them for now. Now that they are scanned I will place them into glass frames to protect them and display on my train room wall.

 

A family member that is into model RR also gave me this cause I collect this type of LLRR history.

This will be a great add to my collection which will be displayed on my train wall.

Amazing what they had for printing back in 1891 and it lasted this long. This insert is in great shape.

I grew up in Rocky Point Long Island as a kid in the 70s. My brother and I came across RR tracks in the downtown area of rocky point behide Moblie Mower. There were trees growing between the tracks and they were rusted really bad. The tracks use to run along the power lines in the 1900s. They ripped up the tracks in the late 40s. We would explore the area while riding our mini bikes.

"Never giving it any thought back than"

Now im doing research on this RR and finding out info about the RR that once was. I found a great place to get a start on it from a man that worked on the LIRR and know's the history of it. So one day when im ready I may do a model layout of this Falling RR in H.O scale

Dave keller's web site is a great place to start. He has a web site that has a lot of info on the Wading River RR and photos with maps .This site will help me a great deal when the time come's. Dave Keller's main site link.
