WHAT THE RAILROAD IS DOING FOR LONG ISLAND CELEBRATES 50TH BIRTHDAY TK» i«r«t»SAU POST: FREEPORT, n . Y„ SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1914 Extensive Improvements at Ter minals—Rolling Stock Being Modernized—Electrification Although the railroad situation throughout the country ■» not particu larly cheering In Its ouJeuk to In vestors, the Long Island Itailroad, which Is not a trunk line a< d depends for Its primary profits on heavy sum mer passenger traffic and a,i year su burban business, is an anjmaly in American railroad conditions The traffic of the road k stead! y increas ing, physical improvements art- con stantly being made and il.e rolling stock is being added to and modern ized. There are no longer center, on Long Island except Brooklyn, Jamaica Long Island City and Flushing, and all of them except Brooklyn are in Queensborough. Here anotne: anomaly presents itself. The Long Island Railroad did not make Its vast terminal or union sta tion improvement al Jamaica for the purpose of handling Queens uaffie, bur With the object of providing sufficient track facilities for th_* bundling of trains bound to and from poin's east of the city line where growth ol popu lation is extensive. This k evident to any observer who stands in the Jn ijiaica Station and ebserves ‘ho arri val and departure ol trains. There has been, during *h? last twelve months, a marked increase in train service on all div! jio .s ui the so ad. All of this salutary railroad rendi tion Is reflected in 'he general real e« tate situation. Each is cove'arlve of the other. Long Island was the last compara tively vacant territory available fot real estate exploitation and Improve ment. Ten years ago there were llun- dreds of acres within twenty five miles of New York awailing development, whereas now there arc practically ’ none. Steadily the suburban area on Long Island has been extended east ward into rural ten itory uut 1 the de mand for all year homes has exit nded In Suffolg county for a considerable distance. Th'e committees on the living line of strong activity are in the southern half of Nassau oCv.nty, where trolley roads have long been in operation ami contributed to the upbuilding ol inter venlng points by making thorn easily accessible to the railroad stations .Be sides the trolley road that runs from Mineola south to Freeport and then westerly, has its western tin minus at the end of the Brooklyn elevated rail road. As a result it is porsible to travel by trolley between I'ark Row and Valley Stream. Lyubrock, Ocean Side, Rosedale and Rockvi 'e Centre in an hour, or slightly more, accord ing to the point. Another year will undouh'ed’y wit ness greater transportation results ac complished on Long Island and th • real estate situaVon Is iuextHcably bound up with them. H mipstead, in the greater plain lection, lias ample room to expand, and the electrica train service that accentuate^ growth. All branches of the Long I,land Rail road are now electrified either all or part of their length, except the Mon- tauk division, but, even on the latter route, there Is a fine steam train serv ice.—Brooklyn Eagle.
