The first map shows where the spur diverged south from the Main Line just east of the old (pre-electrification) Central Islip station. The second shows the ROW on the Hospital grounds.
This is a picture taken on the Hospital grounds on
Sept. 25, 1931 (Ron Ziel collection)
The following pictures and captions were contributed by David Huber, who walked along the ROW in February, 2000.
The first one is of the elevated track remains
The second is of the storehouse track remains
#3 is the ROW remains
#4 is from the ROW looking at the elevated portion
#5 is the old coal bin (it is small and I have no idea
how they got the coal out of it?)
The next is of the Baseball grandstand on the grounds.
Has nothing to
do with the spur but it is a facinating relic
