Environmental Defense is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including the right to clean air, clean water, healthy food and flourishing ecosystems. Guided by science, we work to create practical solutions that win lasting political, economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair. The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly. It is expected that all participants will work toward the common goal of restoring competitive rail freight service East of the Hudson. ©2004 Environmental Defense Printed on 100% (50% post-consumer) recycled paper, 100% chlorine free. -

O’Connor] Date [August 29, 2014] Completed: Keller, David, c.1952- . Long Island Photograph Collection, c.1880-1971. 0.6 cubic ft. Biographical Note: At age 14, self-described “railfan” David Keller, then a resident of Holtsville, purchased a Yashica twin-lens reflex camera, which he taught himself to use. He then set out on a mission to photograph Long Island Rail Road (L.I.R.R.) structures exclusively; however, his subject matter quickly expanded to include things such as trains and train crews. Keller’s father supported the young teen’s ambition, and he drove him all over Long Island to photograph the various L.I.R.R. stations. Keller later became a fixture at the “PD” tower in Patchogue, where he learned all about the history and operation of the railroad. During college, he worked for the L.I.R.R for three summers, first as a ticket clerk and later as a special services attendant. Keller and fellow avid railfan and writer Steven Lynch have published two books of L.I.R.R. photographs: The Long Island Rail Road 1925-1975 (Images of Rail) (2004) and Revisiting the Long Island Rail Road: 1925-75 (2005). In addition, Keller maintains a website titled Dave Keller’s RR Photo Archives (http://sbiii.com/d-keller/d-keller.html). -
