As late as last year, there was a whistle (I believe) marker on the east end of one of the westbound tracks at Woodside station. On the reverse side of the sign was the remnannts of the Dashing Dan Logo. I would really like to see the LIRR bring back that logo (albiet perhaps with a ball and chain around the ankle)

Getting back to an earlier posting of yours: I too remeber seeing trains on the spur to Creedmore, growing up in Glen Oaks. However, I also remember the just before the spur turned north into Creedmore, there was a switch and the other leg continued west towards Braddock Avenue. I seem to remeber that leg served a Pipe factory and a coal company. Do you have asimilar recollection?

BTW: Despite living in the area from 1960 until 1975, I never did see the LIRR at grade through Floral Park.
