92-653: County routes in Suffolk County, New York , are maintained by the Suffolk County Department of Public Works and signed with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices -standard yellow-on-blue pentagon route marker. The designations do not follow any fixed pattern. Routes 76 to 100 are listed below. County Route 76 is Town Line Road along the Islip – Smithtown township line. Until 1968, it
184-461: A Rustic Road system where local routes are purposefully maintained as dirt or gravel roads in order to not interfere with natural scenery and preserve them in their past state. County highway markers are usually a yellow-on-blue pentagon (the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices standard pattern) or a black-on-white square (largely older signs). Some states, like Virginia and North Carolina , have no county highways in most of their counties:
276-528: A clister of residential streets on the south side, known as A Road, Road C, and Road D. A few Road B's can be found within that cluster, but none intersect with Dune Road. Northside marshland becomes more solid on another unnamed dirt road a block west of Triton Lane. East of here, the Shinnecock Bay resumes its domination of the north side of the road, with only a brief interruption of land. However, sparse north side residences begin turning up again across
368-668: A connection to CR 83 via Old Fish Road, a segment of the former Fish Thicket Road which is a local road dating back to the American Revolution . Segments that could've been part of the proposed CR 90 include a four-lane dead end highway near the Suffolk County Police Department headquarters on CR 21 in Yaphank built during the 1970s, and a segment of Railroad Avenue South between CR 29 and Knickerbocker Avenue built during
460-523: A county council was the responsible highway authority . Montauk Branch The Montauk Branch is a rail line owned and operated by the Long Island Rail Road in the U.S. state of New York . The line runs the length of Long Island , 115 miles (185 km) from Long Island City to Montauk . However, in LIRR maps and schedules for public use, the term Montauk Branch refers to
552-559: A letter. Many counties in Ohio use markers to designate county roads. Ohio's county roads vary widely in construction, signage, and naming from county to county. Seneca County uses the default blue pentagon marker and limited signage (generally only at intersections); Logan County uses a square white marker with a black border (similar to the St. Louis County design in Missouri) and signage
644-527: A more easterly direction before the intersection of Landing Avenue. After passing by some surviving farmland as well as a middle school, the road enters the southernmost portion of the village of Head of the Harbor where it intersects Fifty Acre Road before ending at NY 25A in St. James. County Route 88 is a two-lane highway known as Speonk–Riverhead Road, however the road doesn't go as far north as Riverhead as it originally did. The county describes
736-1100: A name determined by a standardized grid reference: "East 2000" would be a north–south road running 20 blocks/miles/km east of the designated zero point. Many other variations are also used. Many locales have somewhat arbitrarily assigned numbers for all county roads, but with no number-signage at all or only on standard street name blades. County roads and highways vary greatly in design standards, funding, and regularity of maintenance. Some county highways in urban areas are freeways or expressways . County roads that link communities or serve residential areas are often indistinguishable from state highways or residential streets. In rural areas, many county roads carry very little traffic and are maintained infrequently. They may be in poor condition (if paved) or not paved at all. In remote areas, county roads may be sand, gravel, or graded earth, only occasionally seeing foot, equestrian, and four wheel drive traffic. Some states, such as Wisconsin, use county highways in great numbers, linking major highways and cities or towns to each other. Wisconsin also maintains
828-488: A northwesterly direction. Among the locations within this section are Sayville's train station , Johnson Avenue, Tariff Street, and the abandoned Island Hills Golf and Country Club. Only when Lakeland Avenue encounters the interchange with NY 27 at exit 49 does the road acquire its designation as CR 93. This segment was the first to be widened from two to four lanes. Between the intersections of NY 454 and Smithtown Avenue (unsigned CR 29), one can find
920-530: A number (usually one or two digits), a single letter followed by a one- or two-digit number (i.e.: V-34, A-29), or in Rock Island County, with letters like Wisconsin but on a blue pentagon marker. These highways are usually marked at the beginning of the highway and occasionally throughout the route; they cannot be relied on as geographic directions the way more major highways are (state or interstate). In New Jersey , there are two sets of county routes:
1012-516: A pier in his unsuccessful effort to have trans-Atlantic ships dock there.) The Great Hurricane of 1938 devastated the terminus area and tore up sections of the roadbed. The population center then moved two miles (3 km) to the south, away from the station. In 1953, amid bankruptcy, the LIRR sought to abandon the Montauk branch east of Patchogue and operate bus service in its place. It cited low, predominantly non-commuter ridership and proximity to
SECTION 10
#17327919232291104-743: A proposed connection to the IND 63rd Street Line in Long Island City. This proposal was unpopular in the communities surrounding the branch. In 2017, the Department studied a plan to operate light rail service on the Lower Montauk Branch. After Penn Station opened in 1910, the Lower Montauk became primarily a freight route, and when the present Jamaica station opened in 1913, the two Lower Montauk tracks continued past
1196-840: A separate service, the Babylon Branch . It is grade-separated on embankments or elevated structures. From Babylon east to Montauk, diesel-electric or dual-mode electric/diesel-electric locomotives haul trains of passenger coaches. The electrified portion of the Montauk Branch ends in the village of Babylon . Some of the diesel trains on the Montauk branch begin or end their runs at Babylon station, connecting with electric trains there. Other Montauk diesel trains operate into New York City, to Jamaica station; Hunterspoint Avenue or Long Island City stations in Long Island City ; or Penn Station. The Montauk Branch, along with
1288-723: A two lane divided highway with a U-turn at NY 27A ( Montauk Highway ), between the historic La Grange Inn and the West Islip Public Library, and instantly becomes a two-lane undivided highway with a center-left-turn lane. Heading north, CR 82 intersect CR 50 , immediately followed by an at-grade crossing of the Long Island Rail Road Montauk Branch near the Babylon Yard for the Babylon station , and then serves
1380-457: Is CR 70 . County Route 77B was the former west wye of CR 77 leading east towards Montauk Point State Parkway. Today it is part of CR 77. County Route 78 is Church Street in the southeastern part of the town of Islip , from NY 27 to Division Avenue in Patchogue . Originally, it was also Veterans Memorial Highway from Nesconset to Sunrise highways until it
1472-635: Is a road in the United States and in the Canadian province of Ontario that is designated and/or maintained by the county highway department. Route numbering can be determined by each county alone, by mutual agreement among counties, or by a statewide pattern. Any county-maintained road, whether or not it is given a signed number, can be called a county road. Depending on the state or province and county, these roads can be named after geographic features, communities, or people. Or they may be assigned
1564-631: Is a short segment of single track) all the way through Babylon, becoming single track at Y Interlocking east of the Sayville station . Some Montauk Branch trains operate west to NYC via the diesel-only Central Branch , joining the Main Line east of Bethpage station . Only a few actually run via the Montauk Branch west of Babylon, under normal conditions on the Main Line. The Montauk Line has heavy ridership and frequent service as far as Patchogue station and commuter service as far as Speonk station . In
1656-415: Is an intersection with Beach Road, which leads to the former Ponquogue Bridge, now serving as a fishing pier. Both the former and current bridges are across from Ponquogue Beach. One more intersection with Road I can be found east of there before the road prepares to conclude near a series of restaurants and marinas on the north side. The last intersection is Road H, which is a dead end street at both ends, and
1748-572: Is former Highway 620, which had a change in supervision. This is to be contrasted with survey township roads which exist in Alberta after the 1981 Alberta rural addressing system was introduced. Range roads will run north to south, while (survey) township roads run east to west. Highway 620 in Ontario, was downloaded to the Peterborough and Hastings county governments, and in one section,
1840-550: Is in Moriches on Old Neck Road and Wilcox Avenue leading trucks around a low bridge beneath the Long Island Rail Road Montauk Branch . The second includes North Bay Avenue in Eastport, New York , which leads truck drivers from another low bridge for the same line within the community, then turns right overlapping Old Country Road into Speonk, where it turns south on North Phillips Avenue and ends at Montauk Highway just south of
1932-578: Is located along the west side of Broadway, east side of Cuba Hill Road, and south side of CR 11 (Pulaski Road), which it intersects almost instantly. Further into town, CR 86 passes an at-grade railroad crossing of the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road close to Greenlawn Railroad Station . After passing the Harborfields Public Library, the road becomes much more residential. It curves to
SECTION 20
#17327919232292024-520: Is nearly comparable to state route signage, with advance signage of intersections with county roads and termini; and Scioto County uses a marker with a county outline. In Canada , numbered county roads are only found in Ontario , where they are similar to American county highways. Ontario county or regional roads are marked with trapezoid-shaped signs, usually (but not necessarily) with a white, black, green, or blue background, and normally identifying
2116-448: Is the north-south road along the west side of Lake Montauk . It begins at an at-grade interchange of Montauk Point State Parkway as West Lake Drive where it intersects two streets that lead to the east side of Montauk Downs State Park , until it reaches CR 70 . From here the road runs much closer to Lake Montauk, then intersects with other roads such as Star Island Road to the right, and then East Flamingo Road (former CR 95) to
2208-518: Is the transfer of instructions to the engineer and conductor by attaching the folded orders to the "hoop", a rod several feet long with a loop at the end that is passed from the ground to a moving train by catching the loop on one's arm. The last train to get hooped at PD was train 2730 on May 6, 2006. Currently, the Montauk Branch intersects with the Bushwick Branch , Bay Ridge Branch , West Hempstead Branch , and Central Branch , as well as
2300-631: Is with Hunter Avenue and Muncey Road. Together these roads span from CR 34 to CR 57 between Sunrise Highway and the Southern State Parkway. CR 82 runs over the Southern State Parkway , but has no access to the parkway. The route finally ends at CR 57 , however while CR 82 ends there, Udall's Road continues as a town of Islip road towards Howell's Road, which leads to Corbin Avenue and eventually to
2392-565: The 500-series (500–599), part of a statewide system which usually run through multiple counties, but are county-maintained; and the non-500 routes which are usually contained within a single county and are repeated in different counties. The latter generally use numbers in the 600-series; some counties have routes in the 700s and 800s. Two counties, Bergen and Monmouth, along with some routes in Ocean County, have routes outside this range with one- or two-digit numbers along with some numbers in
2484-689: The Deer Park station . The entire route is in West Islip . County Route 83 is a major county road within the town of Brookhaven . It runs north and south from NY 27 (Sunrise Highway) at exit 52A in North Patchogue to NY 25A in Mount Sinai . County Route 83A was a formerly proposed spur that was intended to run from an unbuilt segment of CR 83 to Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai . County Route 84
2576-588: The Long Island City and Jamaica stations , mostly at street level with grade crossings . East of the Long Island City station, the abandoned Montauk Cutoff merges with the branch, after both cross Dutch Kills. The Lower Montauk Branch had nine stations, four of which were closed by 1940. The remaining five stations ( Richmond Hill , Glendale , Fresh Pond , Haberman , and Penny Bridge ) were closed on March 13, 1998, due to low ridership and incompatibility with then-new C3 bi-level coach cars that can only use high platforms (only Richmond Hill had an actual platform;
2668-556: The Long Island Rail Road . It runs from an intersection with NY 114 (Bay Street) to the end of the pier on Gardiners Bay . The Sag Harbor Branch was abandoned in 1940, and the road was established in 1949. It is not signed. County Route 82 is the designation for Higbie Lane from its starting point to Udall's Road, and for most of Udall's Road. It was named for the Richard Udall family who had an estate on South Country Road (now Montauk Highway). Higbie Lane starts as
2760-765: The Main Line at Long Island City and Jamaica and the Atlantic Branch at Jamaica and Valley Stream ; the Far Rockaway Branch and Long Beach Branch are connected via the Atlantic Branch at Valley Stream. In the past, junctions existed with the Rockaway Beach Branch (a quarter mile east of Woodhaven Boulevard ), Southern Hempstead Branch (Valley Stream to Hempstead ), Manorville Branch ( Eastport to Manorville on
2852-677: The New York State Department of Transportation and designated NY 454, but Church Street remained CR 78. County Route 79 is a north-south two-lane road known as the Bridgehampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike. Known in pre-colonial times as the "Cart Path to Great Meadows," it was replaced by the Bull Head Turnpike Company as a private toll road called the "Sag Harbor and Bull's Head Turnpike." Construction began in 1834 and

2944-434: The Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road , and immediately intersects 11th Street, which serves as the southern end of the multiplex with New York State Bicycle Route 25A . As the area returns to becoming more residential, the barely noticeable multiplex ends at the intersection of CR 11 (Pulaski Road). North of CR 11, CR 92 runs between NY 108 and NY 110 . A former segment of
3036-601: The Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road , and is inventoried as a west-to-east road. The road begins at the NY ;25 – NY 25A overlap in western Smithtown, at the north end of Brooksite Drive. Besides running north of the LIRR Port Jefferson Line, it also runs south of the Nissequogue River until it reaches Nissequogue River Road. Prior to this point, the road curves at
3128-657: The Port Jefferson–Westhampton Beach Highway . Most of the road continues through a section of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens , which feature the indigenous dwarf pine. This area fell victim to a widespread wildfire that burned a significant portion of the core of the Pine Barrens in 1995. Halfway along its existence, the road serves as an overpass for NY 27 , but does not have an interchange with it . After
3220-739: The Shinnecock Inlet . It begins east of Moriches Inlet at Cupsogue Beach County Park, and crosses the Brookhaven–Southampton town line in West Hampton Dunes , which is almost entirely line with residential beach houses and the occasional private roads, with the exception of Pike's Beach town Park. Even after leaving the village, CR 89 continues to maintain these characteristics, but occasionally features random beach clubs, recreational areas, and another town of Westhampton Beach named Lashley Beach Moriches Bay ends on
3312-527: The Speonk (LIRR station) . The latter of these was originally designated as New York State Route 27 Truck , when New York State Route 27 was part of Montauk Highway between Exits 61 and 65 on Sunrise Highway. County Route 81 is the shortest county road in Suffolk County. Known as Wharf Street, the road consists entirely of a 0.15-mile (0.24 km) segment of the former Sag Harbor Branch of
3404-525: The 100s. New Jersey's county routes are usually signed just as well as state routes (with mile- and half-mileposts), and will appear on freeway exit signage. In Iowa , secondary roads are defined simply by the Iowa Code as "those roads under county jurisdiction." The 99 counties in Iowa divide the secondary road system into farm-to-market roads and area service roads. Farm-to-market roads are maintained by
3496-623: The 1970s. Beyond Horse Block Road, the unbuilt ROW for the Central Suffolk Highway can be found beneath the CR ;101 bridge over the LIRR Main Line. Road maps published between the 1960s and 1980s show a proposed road labeled CR 90 between Moriches–Middle Island Road at North Street and CR 111 at Hot Water Street, the very location where other maps indicate that the proposed western extension of CR 105
3588-584: The 1980s as part of the major reconstruction of Ronkonkoma Railroad Station . County Route 91 was reserved for the formerly proposed Manorville Branch Road which was to be built on the aptly named former Manorville Branch of the Long Island Rail Road . The proposal was cancelled in 1986. County Route 92 is Oakwood Road, the most westerly county road in Huntington township. It begins at NY 25 (Jericho Turnpike) in West Hills, east of
3680-716: The County State Aid Highway Fund. Differences in signage between CSAH routes and other county roads depends on the county. Some counties, such as Stearns County, delineate between the two by using the standard blue pentagon marker for CSAH routes and a normal white square marker for other county roads. Most county roads in Minnesota are designated with numbers, although a few non-CSAHs in Dodge County utilize letters. A few roads that cross county borders are also signed with an inter-county designation and
3772-613: The LIRR's Rockaway Branch to Springfield Junction , where it crossed the Southern. This change resulted in the closure of the Southern's Berlin , Beaver Street (Jamaica), Locust Avenue , and Springfield stations. The old line between Jamaica and Springfield, which became freight-only, was renamed the Old Southern Road . The Southern was reorganized as the Brooklyn and Montauk Railroad in 1879, and on March 14, 1880,

3864-527: The Lower Montauk. Soon after, full control of the Lower Montauk was transferred to the New York and Atlantic Railway for freight operations. The New York City Department of Transportation has periodically floated proposals to repurpose the Lower Montauk Branch for rapid transit operations. In 1984, the Department studied an option to connect the branch to the New York City Subway through
3956-656: The Main Line), and Sag Harbor Branch ( Bridgehampton to Sag Harbor ). In early times, the Scoot ran frequently between Greenport on the North Fork , "around the horn" on the Manorville Branch, and east to Sag Harbor. In their day, both of those villages were very busy, bustling ports. The South Side Railroad of Long Island built the line from Bushwick, Brooklyn to Patchogue in the 1860s, and completed
4048-414: The Main Line, and potential savings of $ 450,000 per year. The Town of East Hampton protested this proposed closure, highlighting the potential for increased vehicular traffic due to lack of alternative means of travel, and the line ultimately remained open. 1998 saw the closure of three lightly used stations: Center Moriches , Quogue , and Southampton College . Bellport was also due to be closed at

At 40°40′01″N 73°44′49″W / 40.667°N 73.747°W / 40.667; -73.747 it swings parallel to the Atlantic Branch between its Laurelton and Rosedale stations. The Montauk Branch east of Jamaica is 0.7 mile longer than the Atlantic. The portion between Jamaica and Babylon stations has been electrified since 1925, and electric trains to Babylon are often identified as
4232-517: The Montauk Branch would likely be included in the 2019–2020 state budget. The funding would be used by the LIRR to design three passing sidings to be installed on the line in single-track territory between Speonk and Montauk. The installation of passing sidings would allow for increased service on the South Fork Commuter Connection. MTA President and CEO Pat Foye said that improvements to the Montauk Branch were identified in
4324-651: The Montauk Division – was extended east to the Sag Harbor Branch at Eastport. The Sag Harbor Branch east of Eastport became part of the Montauk Division, and the old line from Manor (Manorville) to Eastport became the Manor Branch . An extension to Montauk , splitting off the old Sag Harbor Branch at Bridgehampton, opened to Amagansett on June 1, 1895 and to Montauk by September, and the line between Bridgehampton and Sag Harbor reverted to
4416-538: The United States, county highways are denoted or signed in various ways, differing by state. In Wisconsin , county highways are marked with letters—with one- to three-letter combinations (i.e.: C, CC, or CCC). Wisconsin's county highways are frequently and clearly marked at most intersections. Because county road names are not exclusive, a state may have many county roads with similar or identical names. In states like Illinois , county highways are marked either with
4508-553: The canal is the only access to the rest of Long Island in Quogue. Shortly after the bridge, the road passes the Quogue Beach Club. While the south side of the road continues the pattern of private beach houses, most of the land on the north side of the road is undeveloped marshland, especially as Quogue Canal opens up into Shinnecock Bay . This pattern continues east of the village line. East of Dockers Waterside Restaurant,
4600-951: The county and, paid for from a special fund: the Farm-to-Market Road Fund consists of federal secondary-road aid and 8% of Iowa's road use taxes. The farm-to-market road system is limited to 35,000 miles (56,000 km). Unlike most states, Iowa's signed secondary roads are not numbered on a county-by-county basis. With exception to County Road 105 , secondary roads use a uniform numbering grid using one letter and two or three numbers, e.g., E41. County roads running primarily east and west are assigned letters (from north to south) A through J. County roads running primarily north and south are assigned letters (from west to east) K through Z. The letters I, O, Q, and U are not used. In Minnesota , some county roads are known as county state aid highways . These roads are constructed and maintained by counties, but they are eligible for funding from
4692-569: The county or region responsible for the road's maintenance, sometimes with the jurisdiction's coat of arms or corporate logo . The county road network has been present for many years, but has only been signed with the flowerpot logos since the 1970s and early 1980s (depending on the area). Previously, the roads simply had road names, such as "Essex Road 42" or "Kent County Road 14", and so on, but had no markers to designate them. Many Ontario county roads are built to provincial highway standards, as thousands of kilometres of highways were downloaded from

CR 88 begins at CR 71 (Old Country Road) in Speonk , just east of Phillips Avenue, which serves as both a truck detour for County Route 80 (Suffolk County, New York) , and as the road to Speonk's Long Island Railroad station . It was once planned to cross under
4876-690: The east side of Mattituck Creek, the road was Mill Neck Road. As Mill Neck Road became Oregon Avenue in Oregon , CR 84 turned south on Mill Road, where it crossed former CR 27A then CR 48 and headed back to NY 25 near East Mattituck . County Route 85 is Montauk Highway between the Oakdale Merge and Patchogue . County Route 86 runs from NY 25 and Dix Hills Road as Broadway–Greenlawn and Centerport Road into Little Neck Road in Centerport. CR 86 begins at
4968-404: The eastern part of the town of Islip and partially in the southeastern section of the town of Smithtown. It runs north and south from NY 27 in Bohemia near Sayville to CR 16 in Lake Ronkonkoma . Names of the route include Lakeland Avenue, Ocean Avenue, and Rosevale Avenue. Lakeland Avenue actually begins at CR 85 in Sayville as Railroad Avenue and leaves downtown Sayville at
5060-453: The end of runway #6 for the Long Island MacArthur Airport . At the intersection with Pond Road and Locust Avenue, CR 93 enters the Pond Road Business District, an industrialized section of Pond Road. Pond Road once stretched from Lake Ronkonkoma to Oakdale, near what is today the Oakdale Merge at Sunrise and Montauk highways. County route A county highway (also county road or county route ; usually abbreviated CH or CR )
5152-433: The highway was downloaded further to the township of Wollaston , and is now signed Wollaston Township 620, with a municipal sign similar to an Ontario tertiary highway . A number of townships in Wellington County sign their township road system in a similar manner. In England and Wales , county road , as alluded to in section 29 et seq. of the Local Government Act 1929, was the term used to refer to any road for which

Just northeast of Lekamb Avenue, the road straightens out, briefly moving direct north. This change is short-lived as it heads back northeast at Lantern Street. After passing two T-intersections connecting CR 86 to separate parts of Delamere Street,
5336-408: The intersection of Sweet Hollow Road, which runs through West Hills County Park before heading south to CR 3 . Though described as a two-lane road, it often provides a center-left turn lane that isn't necessarily continuous. Motorists are left with no doubt that they're in Huntington Manor when CR 92 runs along the east side of Oakwood Park, near the southwest corner of the grade crossing with

In the unincorporated districts of Northern Ontario , as there is no county level of government the province maintains a secondary highway system to serve the same function. In addition to county roads, many civil townships also have concession roads and (civil) township roads, such as Colchester South Road 3, and Concession 8. These usually do not have markers (only names on signs and maps). One exception

#17327919232295704-399: The line east of Babylon ; service from Jamaica to Babylon is covered by separate Babylon Branch schedules, while the line west of Jamaica is currently unused for passenger service. A select number of Montauk Branch trains operate via the Main Line and Central Branch during peak hours. The westernmost portion of the Montauk Branch in Queens, known as the "Lower Montauk," runs between
5796-405: The much narrower Quantuck Creek, which runs under Beach Lane Bridge which is also in Westhampton Beach across from Rogers Beach. The pattern of beach houses blocked by greenery continues, but primarily along the Atlantic Ocean side of the road. When Quantuck Creek flows into Quantuck Bay, the houses are more abundant. Here the road also passes by the Quantuck Beach Club, which despite being located on
5888-402: The name was changed from the Southern Division to the Montauk Division . Thus the old South Side Railroad, except between Jamaica and Springfield Junction, was now the Montauk Division. The LIRR opened the Sag Harbor Branch , including the present Montauk Branch from Eastport to Bridgehampton , on June 8, 1870. On July 27, 1881, after the South Side became part of the LIRR, its line – then
5980-479: The new line to Long Island City in 1870. With the reorganization of the South Side as the Southern Railroad of Long Island in 1874 and its lease by the LIRR in 1876, this line became the Southern Railroad Division , Southern Railroad of Long Island Division , or simply Southern Division . Effective Sunday, June 25, 1876, all Southern Division passenger trains were rerouted to use the LIRR main line from Berlin Junction (west of Jamaica) to Rockaway Junction , and
6072-402: The north side of the road contains marshland that is so low, that satellite views make it appear as if the road runs along the bay itself. At the intersection of Dolphin Lane, the northern portion of which terminates just out of reach of Sedge Island, CR 89 serves as the terminus of another unpaved and unnamed road that would provide easier access to that island. This is soon overshadowed by
6164-399: The north side of the street, and flows into Moneybogue Bay, which runs under the Jessup Lane Bridge in Westhampton Beach across from the Swordfish Beach Club. This is the first connection to the rest of Long Island. In between the segment along Moneybogue Bay, the residential beach houses continue to line the road, but more of them are surrounded by shrubs and small trees. The bay flows into
6256-438: The old Sag Harbor Branch name. Electrification of the Montauk Division from Jamaica to Babylon was completed on May 20, 1925, and normal operation began the next day.
