Many many thanks. As a native of Greenport I have taken the train many times but not in the last 20 plus years. In fact, in this video you crossed my old street, Kerwin Blvd. just West of Greenport. I can’t tell you the number of times we rode our bikes up to that crossing to see the trains go by.. A lot has been built up but the very East End is still very very beautiful and Peconic Bay is hard to beat for swimming, clamming and boating . Once again thank you for this specific video and naturally I enjoy your others as well.

Irving Berlin, while stationed at Camp Upton, wrote a musical, Yip, Yip, Yaphank, which included the memorable song "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning." The musical was turned into a 1943 movie This Is The Army which starred Ronald Reagan. Kate Smith sang, God Bless America. Thanks for all you do! This was a fun journey.

I live within walking distance of the Ronkonkoma train station and I have taken the Greenport scoot lots of times. I have taken it most recently as this past summer. Taking the train to Greenport is good because everything in Greenport is within walking distance of the station. Usually when I go I would walk around the town then go to Claudio's restaurant then take the train back home after.

Great trip. The Calverton freight spur at 36:15 was originally installed 1953 to service the newly opened Naval Industrial Reserve Plant at Calverton built by the Navy for Grumman Aerospace final assembly and flight test operations, which had mainly outgrown the built-up Bethpage area in the heart of Nassau County. During my time at Grumman Calverton from 1962 to 1994 there were initially regular freight deliveries, including at first coal in coal hoppers then later fuel oil in tank cars for powering the main steam and power plant for the facility. The most memorable freight deliveries however remain the annual arrivals of a freezer freight car loaded with the frozen turkeys that were handed out to all Grumman employees at Christmas time. After Grumman ceased to exist in the Spring of 1994 and the Navy turned over the Calverton Facility to the Town of Riverhead, for a short time there were biofuel tank car deliveries on a somewhat regular basis made to a company doing business in the new Calverton Enterprise Park. Currently, there still may well be lumber and building material deliveries to the Riverhead Building Supply Corporation. The spur was refurbished circa 15(?) years ago with an aprox. $2M federal grant secured by then-Congressman Tim Bishop. That is when crossing gates were installed at River Avenue, tracks were replaced, and a new switch onto the main line installed.
