(rshsdepot) Excellent 1898 western Long Island transportation map

["Paul Luchter" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

The steam dummy lines to Lutheran and Cypress Hills Cemeteries (Bushwick 
RR) are shown, the various railroads to Coney Island are all there, and 
note the New York & Hudson River Railroad depot in Manhattan on West 
30th Street. The Els are also shown:

It was a Long Island Railroad map, thus the only ferry shown is theirs 
at Hunters Point.

[not a large file but very sharp map, you can actually read the small 
print]

Here would be the larger map of all of Long Island:
