That is impressive and as an ex-Long Islander, the LIRR has sure come a long way from the days of "Dashing Dan."

   The LIRR PR piece is impressive in every way to this Ohioan.  You New Yorkers may pay higher taxes than we flatlanders do, but look at what you get!  The LIRR replaced more bridges in these photographs than the Ohio DOT.  At least, it looks like it.  Modern up-to-date stations, new and better equipment...what's not to like?

   Thanks for posting this and thereby giving railfans hope for the future.
