: The first bite into the canopy and that was it!
: At 7:45am the equipment made the first bite into the west canopy and that
: was all that was needed. The building twisted and trembled for a few seconds
: and then it came crashing to the ground. Everyone present was amazed at how
: rapidly the building disintegrated. Thus, 120 years or so of serving the
: community, the East Williston Station building came to a dusty end. Another
: chapter in LIRR history closes.
