| The Little Neck station was walking distance from the house, and had a small store across the tracks, where dad would often get the paper on weekends. This was usually an occasion for a family outing, and wed pick up the Daily News, and of course, the Times, along with the usual assortment of kid stuff-baseball cards, candy, gum, etc. Many times, it included a stop at the station to see some action, though dad usually took more photos of us than of the trains. This one has both, as my brother William, almost three in this photo, observes an eastbound train in the old wooden shelter. |
