Long Island Railroad Inspiration For Model Railroading Hobby

Joe recalls trains on the Long Island Railroad and writes:

My best train memory is waiting for the Long Island Railroad to pull into Woodside Station. At that time of my life the Railroad was Steam Engines. I would look as long as possible for the smoke in the distance. We would board with windows open and the ride to Farmingdale. It was something I always looked forward to on weekends. I loved the sounds of the Steam Engine. I guess thats why my model railroad is all steam powered. Ocassionaly I will run LIRR Diesels but the sound of the steam still is best to me.
