Long Island Live Steamers Work Days

Long Island Live Steamers, Southaven Park Long Island, The Best kept secret of Long Island

Public Run Days to begin late May, 2010.

Our fireboxes are cold and our engines are roundhoused for the winter. The 2010 public run season starts late in May when our Steam, Diesel, and Electric powered trains will once again transport you through the woods from "Southold" to "Jamaica" Station. To join us on our next Public Run Day, check back for our published schedule, available here soon.

Work Days

Virtually everything you will see, ride on, or otherwise enjoy during your visit to Long Island Live Steamers (with the exception of the trees and occasional deer or tortise) was built, delivered, installed and maintained by Long Island Live Steamers club members. The song goes, "Once I built a railroad, I made it run!" Well, we did and we did it in our spare time!

Thursdays and Sundays are the "scheduled" work days, but members can be found working on equipment and projects virtually any time. The right of ways, the equipment, and most of the buildings you see here are the result of their hard work. Please enjoy the fruits of their labor and enjoy your time here with us. But please, treat our railroad wIth the respect it deserves.

When we don't play, we work. Even then we have fun!

Our members are out working on most Sundays, even when we are not running and the Thursday Gang is out there too.

Our Pubic Run days are usually scheduled for the second and last Sundays of the month from May through October.
