25:21 The Bayside station! I used that stop when I went to visit Bayside back in 2018. Such memories. Thank you so much for sharing!

When I was a young kid I lived in Great Neck and every time I went into the city with my father I would always go to the first car and stare out the window the entire way. I moved out of LI around 99' when I was less than 10 years old and haven't taken this train since. Watching this video is like you somehow reached into my earliest memories and posted it directly on youtube. Every detail is correct right down to the specific branch of the LIRR. Its uncanny. How the hell did the algorithm know to show me?

At 17:11 the track that goes off to the right is the abandoned Flushing to floral park part of the central branch. It would travel from here stopping at Kissena, Frankinston, Creedmore and hinsdale (current Floral Park) It would then go down the current Hempstead branch all the way to Garden City, where it would continue straight to Bethpage, and then Babylon. The Flushing to Floral park section was abandoned in 1879, but the tracks weren’t took up until WWI. After the war the only parts of the tracks that remained was the section from floral park to creedmore. In the 1920s a track was built up to Creedmore psychiatric center ending normal passenger service on the branch. Up until the early 1960s the creedmore branch served doctors and patients for the psych center. In maps after 1978 the creedmore branch would not appear. The branch from garden city to bethpage was still in good use. Around the same time the creedmore branch closed, the branch from Mitchel Feild to bethpage was torn up. Passenger service lasted until the early to mid 70s. The branch is still used for freight though. From Bethpage to Babylon is the only part of the central branch that is still working in passenger service. It Connects Bethpage to Babylon so Montauk trains can travel to Jamaica and Penn Station.
