I'm taking notes here before I write the article. --NE2 00:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- 2/11/1900 page 34 has a map!
- between March 24 and April 5, 1902: opened from Mineola to Freeport (3/24/1902 page 10, 4/5/1902 page 5)
- July 1?, 1902: Mineola, Hempstead and Freeport Traction Company changed name to NY&LI; already had lines in Nassau County (7/1/1902 page 9)
- September 11, 1902: opened from Hempstead to Queens Village (city line) (9/11/1902 page 10)
- November 1902: began building west from Freeport toward Rockville Center and then to Springfield, connecting to the Long Island Electric Railway; expected to open by May 1903 (11/15/1902 page 7)
- November 1902: began laying track from "present terminus at Queens [Village] to the end of the Hempstead-Mineola route" - just under a mile on the Hempstead Turnpike (11/18/1902 page 9) - but according to [1] the track on Hempstead Turnpike in Queens County was built by the LIE in 1904; 11/30/1902 page 45 says "that portion of the Hempstead and Jamaica Turnpike from the present terminus of the trolley line on the Jericho Road in the Village of Queens to the city line"; an injunction was asked, so maybe the NY&LI didn't build this; it also says that the LIE has a franchise there; the LIE was planning to build to Hempstead but failed; a temporary stage line was operated by the NY&LI to the LIE at Queens Village
