I thank my fellow HHS graduate, Mark Thomas (Class of 1975), for sharing with me a number of fascinating items from his postcard collection, only some of which could be included above. They have clarified my understanding of how the NY&NS once fit into Hicksville and Westbury.
The other photographs, and my awareness of the subject, have come from many sources. Among them, the late Vincent F. Seyfried's New York and North Shore Traction Company of course stands out, as do several of his other books. They stitch everything together for me. His incredibly diligent research, preserved in his many books, remains invaluable to those who are interested in the history of Long Island.
