Long Island Rail Road Celebrates 180th Anniversary Of Service to Greenport!


Today, Saturday, July 27th, 2024 marks 188 years since the first LIRR train reached Greenport. To celebrate this occasion, the LIRR operated a special excursion that you could take a train Greenport and learn about the railroad while you were at it, and then you'd explore the Greenport Railroad Museum of Long Island. To even further this, afterward, they operated an G16 Allen Marshall Park train under the name of 'Greenport Express'!!! The ticket price was $90 ($77 for children 5-11), but I couldn't attend since I was out of state. This tour seamed to be popular as it sold out on July 25th.  I'm hoping to get more posts out soon!
