| LI 607 brings up the rear of an Oyster Bay train taking the branch. In the photo, we see Nassau tower, and to its right, the power station that once supplied third rail power for the line that ran to a connection with the Hempstead Branch at Garden, a few miles south in Garden City, a line which was abandoned in the late 60s. I am standing on the extended platform, located where the connection to the branch once ran-it surved around to the right of the power station. Nassau was once a larger junction than now, with the Main Line going east and west, and connections to Oyster Bay and the south shore via the branch to Hempstead. |
