| CI had 2 rail spurs for delivering coal to the south colony power plant and the other power plant. It also had a passenger station and even its own locomotive. The locomotive was commonly referred to as "the Creedmore Creeper." This was because when it would make pickups for patients and supplies at Creedmore in Queens it would chug slowly along on the main line holding up the LIRR trains. Thanks to U-boat commander for this information. Check out the historic map at the bottom of the page and the photo series of what the spur looks like now. |  |
