David Morrison and Jamaica Station

In today's Newsday magazine section ("LI LIFE") there's an extensive article, with lots of photos, of Jamaica Station and a man who worked there for most of his LIRR career, David Morrison. He has an O gauge and a G gauge layout.

Here's the link to the article:

They mention a lot of literary references, but fail to mention the hilarious "Change At Jamaica" book by Warren Goodrich.
