FIRE UP LIRR #39!
The Long Island Railroad was chartered in 1834 to provide rail service between Boston and New York, via ferry service at Greenport, NY. After a quicker overland route to Boston was established by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, the LIRR began to focus its attention on service to Long Island. The Pennsylvania Railroad bought controlling stock in the railroad in 1900, and used its great wealth to expand and modernize the line. After WWII, the line became un-profitable, and went into receivership in 1949. The State of New York bought the PRR's controlling stock, and put the line under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's control. The railroad has operated ever since as a critical commuter line, and is one of the busiest commuter lines in the United States.
During the Long Island Railroad's lifespan, it has seen many different types of motive power. Many of them were built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in its Juniata Shops in Altoona, PA. While most of those locomotives were scrapped, a few were saved.
Long Island Railroad #39 is a G5s 4-6-0 built in the PRR's Juniata Shops in 1929. She worked her entire service life on the LIRR, hauling commuter trains until her retirement in 1955. After changing hands several times, she finally ended up at the Railroad Museum of Long Island in 1992, where work was begun on her restoration.
On March 15, 2013, the Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Long Island reached an agreement to bring #39 back into operation. The Railroad Museum of Long Island would contribute $1,000,000 and would ship her remaining parts to Strasburg, and he Strasburg Railroad (who was originally contracted to do the work on #39's boiler) would contribute the other $1,000,000 and the labor to finish work on #39. After her return to service, she would be leased to the Strasburg Railroad for 48 years, and would be used in revenue service.
To raise awareness about the project, the Strasburg Railroad swapped whistles on ex- N&W #475, replacing her normal N&W Hooter with LIRR #39's PRR 3-Chime. The whistle sounded beautiful as its tones swept across the quaint Lancaster countryside.
The Railroad Museum of Long Island is looking to raise $1,000,000 to begin restoration work on Engine #39. If you want to see her thunder across the landscape once again, make a donation to the RMLI! Every bit counts!

Long Island
Long Island is an island in the U.S. state of New York. Stretching northeast from New York Harbor into the Atlantic Ocean, the island comprises four counties, including two (Kings and Queens) that form the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and two (Nassau and Suffolk) that are farther out on the island and mainly suburban. Although all four counties are part of the greater New York metropolitan area, the name Long Island is often reserved in popular usage for only Nassau and Suffolk counties, as distinct from those lying within New York City proper. North of the island is Long Island Sound, across which are the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
With a Census-estimated population of 7,740,208 in 2013, Long Island is the most populated island in any U.S. state or territory, and the 17th-most populous island in the world (ahead of Ireland, Jamaica, and Hokkaidō). Its population density is 5,402 inhabitants per square mile (2,086 /km2). If it were a U.S. state, Long Island would rank 13th in population (after Virginia) and first in population density.

SUMMARY
=======
Long Island is a densely populated island off the East Coast of the United States, beginning at New York Harbor approximately 0.35 miles (0.56 km) from Manhattan Island and extending eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. The island comprises four counties in the U.S. state of New York. Kings and Queens Counties (the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, respectively) and Nassau County share the western third of the island, while Suffolk County occupies the eastern two-thirds. More than half of New York City's residents now live on Long Island, in Brooklyn and Queens. However, many people in the New York metropolitan area (including those in Brooklyn and Queens) colloquially use the term Long Island (or the Island) to refer exclusively to Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are mainly suburban in character, conversely employing the term the City to mean Manhattan alone.Broadly speaking, Long Island may refer both to the main island and the surrounding outer barrier islands. North of the island is Long Island Sound, across which lie Westchester County, New York, and the state of Connecticut. Across the Block Island Sound to the northeast is the state of Rhode Island. To the west, Long Island is separated from the Bronx and the island of Manhattan by the East River. To the extreme southwest, it is separated from Staten Island and the state of New Jersey by Upper New York Bay, the Narrows, and Lower New York Bay. To the east lie Block Island—which belongs to the State of Rhode Island—and numerous smaller islands.
Both the longest and the largest island in the contiguous United States, Long Island extends 118 miles (190 km) eastward from New York Harbor to Montauk Point, with a maximum north-to-south distance of 23 miles (37 km) between Long Island Sound and the Atlantic coast. With a land area of 1,401 square miles (3,630 km2), Long Island is the 11th-largest island in the United States and the 149th-largest island in the world—larger than the 1,214 square miles (3,140 km2) of the smallest U.S. state, Rhode Island.With a Census-estimated population of 7,869,820 in 2017, constituting nearly 40% of New York State's population, Long Island is the most populated island in any U.S. state or territory, and the 18th-most populous island in the world (ahead of Ireland, Jamaica, and Hokkaidō). Its population density is 5,595.1 inhabitants per square mile (2,160.3/km2). If Long Island geographically constituted an independent metropolitan statistical area, it would rank fourth most populous in the United States; while if it were a U.S. state, Long Island would rank 13th in population and first in population density. Long Island is culturally and ethnically diverse, featuring some of the wealthiest and most expensive neighborhoods in the Western Hemisphere near the shorelines as well ...
