New York and Long Island Traction Company
For the predecessor to the Brooklyn subways, see Long Island Traction Company.
The New York and Long Island Traction Company was a street railway company in Queens and Nassau County, New York, United States.[1] It was partially owned by a holding company for the Long Island Rail Road and partially by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company.[2][3] The company operated from New York City east to Freeport,[1] Hempstead,[1] and Mineola.[4]
The railroad had two main lines; The Mineola Line (Now the Nassau Inter-County Express N24) which spanned from Queens Village into Mineola in Nassau County, New York along Jamaica Avenue, and the Brooklyn-Freeport Line, which spanned from Brooklyn to Freeport, also in Nassau County, and ran mostly along Rockaway Boulevard, North Conduit Avenue, Atlantic Avenue and Merrick Road.
