The cab ride is approximately a $5 cab ride. From JFK or LGA a group of 4 or more travelers could pre-arrange for a Super Shuttle (through concierge ahead of time) the number is 1-800-Blue Van or you can book on line with a small discount. This option would allow travelers flying together to prearrange and share the expense of shuttle back and forth to airport. Train Information Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak will service to the Farmingdale Train Station. Cabs can be arranged from the Farmingdale Train Station, for approximately $7. JFK Airport has a ‘plane to the train connection’ where you take the train from the JFK airport, change trains at the Jamaica Station and then take a train to the Farmingdale LIRR Station.

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).
