THE ROUTE OF THE DASHING COMMUTER: THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD AT 175
New York Transit Museum, Brooklyn Heights

Incorporated in 1834, the Long Island Railroad, is the oldest rail road in the United States still operating under its original name. Initially built to be a shortcut to Boston, it has adapted to the ever-changing needs of its customers and survived competition, takeovers, hard times and bankruptcy. Today it is the busiest commuter railroad in the country and is embarking on a massive expansion project known as East Side Access which will bring LIRR trains into Grand Central Terminal. Historic and contemporary photographs, maps, illustrations, and objects on loan and from the museum's collection tell the fascinating story of the railroad and how it contributed to the development of Long Island.

GUEST CAR
Transit Museum guest cars highlight vintage and current vehicles not normally included in our permanent exhibit.

Supplementing the exhibit on the Long Island Rail Road's history, a vintage caboose is on display at the Museum. Steel Cabin Car No. C-60 was built by the International Railway Car Company in 1961 and used by the LIRR until 2003. Preserved and newly restored, the car is on loan from the National Railway Historical Society, Twin Forks Chapter.
