Nice shots. NY&A engine is looking good
Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing with us.
I think New York and Texas are the only states that have towns named Mineola. They are both railroad towns named after the wife of a railroad tycoon. Mineola, TX is also still an active RR town. I have some pictures. Would post more, but can now use only one hand.

Mineola Long Island is a mainline LIRR passenger station. Although pulled by NY and Atlantic RR, some freight does pass through. I passed through that station for 30 years of commuting to work in NYC.

Thanks for posting Zach. I grew up in Mineola. My Father commuted into NYC for 32 years, so for us and many other families it was the easiest way to get from here to there.

And it still floods with a heavy rainstorm?
To Bob Young,
Like many villages on Long Island, the name Mineola comes from the Native American language. You can get a brief history here: http://www.mineola-ny.gov/Page...bDocs/historymineola
