Interesting set. I didn't know there was anything on the spur. When I last lived on the island, this was the Brookhaven National Labs spur, which was largely inactive at the time-1970's/80's. It started life as a loop that served a WW I training and embarkation camp, Camp Upton, leaving the Main Line at Calverton, and rejoining the Montauk Branch near Eastport. See "Steel Rails to the Sunrise" by Ron Ziel and George Foster for details.
