What a great article. The railroad spur between the main line and creedmoor actually lasted until the early 1970's. I can remember them taking down the steel railroad bridge over Jerico Turnpike and little neck parkway, probably around 1972. It joined the main line at the floral park lirr station.
Once again, Forgotten-NY comes through with a hyper-local Queens page. What a priceless resource that site is! Click photo for story.
