SUMMARY:Photographing the Long Island Rail Road | February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Long Island native Joe Stroppel shares his photography of the Long Island Rail Road\, the busiest commuter rail system in North America. Visit busy stations and interlockings at the outer reaches of New York City\, travel to scenic landscapes of the North and South Fork\, and explore the LIRR’s rapidly changing infrastructure – including its endangered PRR-style Position Light signals\, control towers\, and stretches of non-signaled dark territory. \nAbout the speaker\nJoe Stroppel was born in Glen Cove\, NY\, on the North Shore of Long Island. He lived only a few blocks from the Oyster Bay Branch\, which is where his fascination with the railroad began. On weekends\, his mother would take little Joe on train rides to Oyster Bay. At age 13\, he got his first camera\, and he’s been photographing the LIRR ever since. Joe was one of the youngest docents to attend the Center for Railroad Photography & Art (CRP&A)’s Conversations conference in 2016\, and he returned on another scholarship in 2025. His favorite aspects of the hobby include railroad photography\, the sounds of the railroad (especially train horns)\, and train travel. Outside of the railroad hobby\, Joe is a classically-trained singer and actor\, and he performs around the New York City area. \nAbout the meetings\nAll Cincinnati Railroad Club meetings are held in the Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center and are open to the public at no charge. We’ll begin the evening at 7:30 pm with brief club updates & announcements\, followed by our featured program presentation at 8:00 pm. Parking will be validated for attendees parking in the Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center parking lots. \nDirections to Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal:\nEnter through Union Terminal’s main entrance into the rotunda\, turn left toward the Cincinnati History Museum\, and the Newsreel Theater doors will be on your left between the escalator and the History Museum. Just look for our club banner outside the door. Again\, the meeting begins at 7:30 pm with our featured program starting at 8:00 pm
