On October 23, 2013, the Long Island Rail Road’s Jamaica Station celebrated
its 100th Anniversary as the main hub of the railroad. Used by 150,000+
commuters daily, the station is the nerve center of the railroad. MTA and
public officials cut the ribbon to the newly renovated station and celebrated
it with gifts for the station, speeches, live music, and even a cake! I was
on hand to witness the reopening of the iconic station and filed this
report.
LIRR President Helena Williams led a host dignitaries at the ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the restored ticket office on Sutphin Blvd. The November program can be seen at your convenience on YouTube. The report begins at about the 14-minute mark of the program at: http://www.youtube.com/mtainfo
