LIRR has announced it will continue two Saturday and two Sunday round trip trains from Ronkonkoma to Greenport through Thanksgiving to allow leaf peeping and winery visiting. The year round weekend service was cut out several years ago under tight budgets but has been partially restored this year. The North Fork is a very pretty ride, includes two railroad museums (Riverhead and Greenport) plus a whaler/fishing museum in the former Greenport Station. Good restaurants nearby, Shelter Island Ferry at the end of the track! It is a charming ride...and if you live there you leave NYP at 9:15AM, arrive about 12Noon, leave just after 6 PM if you want to really enjoy Greenport, or grab a sandwich and the 1:11 train back. Well worth whatever ride you choose!
