I'm something of a newcomer, so bear with me.
First off, I was a little confused by the picture used for this article. It depicts a train at Mineola station, which is not technically a part of the Port Jefferson Branch. I've checked the pages for the other branches of the Long Island Rail Road, and they all seem to be using pictures of stations that are actually a part of the branch being depicted in the article. Would there be objections if the picture were changed to a photograph of a station belonging to the Port Jefferson Branch?
The chart with the list of stations seems inaccurate to me. I was under the impression that the stations from Floral Park to Hicksville are generally considered to be a part of the main branch (Ronkonkoma) rather than the Port Jefferson Branch, despite the fact that these stations are given the same color as the Port Jefferson Branch on the LIRR station map. It seems odd to me that these stations would be included in the list of Port Jefferson Branch stations when it is even stated earlier in the article that the line begins at Hicksville.

Does anybody else have a copy of "Long Island Rail Road: Port Jefferson Branch," by David D. Morrison and David Keller? I have the Kindle copy, and no matter which format you buy it in, it has info that will just blow you away. Port Jeff Branch station articles will truly benefit from this book. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 00:38, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Why is this line in the Kings Park Hospital Spur section?:
"On a small note, electrification reached from Mineola to Hicksville & Huntington in 1970. For 15 years from Amott Interlocking east of Syosset Station to west of Huntington it was single-tracked. In 1985, the LIRR constructed a second electrified track in that area to avoid the single track bottle neck, this included Cold Spring Harbor adding a second platform."
It should be in the segment on electrification. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 18:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
