Possibly one other

File:Aero view of Freeport, Long Island, N.Y. 1909.jpeg shows a line running from Freeport's N. & S. Main Street to Bedell Street to Atlantic Avenue, and then at the east edge of town on Atlantic Avenue is labeled "Electric RR to New York." This does not seem to correspond to any of the lines described here. The New York and Long Island Traction Brooklyn-Freeport line is described as running along Sunrise Highway (which did not yet exist in 1909) rather than Atlantic, but that might be an error, and that might be the line in question. The description of the Jamaica-Hempstead Line says it ran to Freeport, but doesn't mention any street that reaches Freeport, and would presumably go from Hempstead south to Freeport (Atlantic Avenue is east-west). Seashore Municipal Railroad is described as running on Atlantic, but not as getting anywhere near NYC or Brooklyn. - Jmabel | Talk 05:14, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That section of the line going along North Main Street goes to Hempstead. Also didn't Sunrise Highway replace some local streets in Freeport? -------User:DanTD (talk) 18:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
