Central Branch (Long Island Rail Road)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Central Branch is a rail line owned and operated by the Long Island Rail Road in the U.S. state of New York. It connects the Main Line (Ronkonkoma Branch service) east of Bethpage with the Montauk Branch (Babylon Branch service) west of Babylon, allowing several Montauk Branch trains that begin or end east of Babylon to use the Main Line from Bethpage to Jamaica. The branch is colored as part of the Ronkonkoma Branch on LIRR maps,[1] but these trains are shown on Babylon and Montauk Branch timetables.[2][3]
