1852 TIME TABLE
ALTHOUGH NOT IDENTIFIED AS AN EMPLOYE TIME TABLE THIS HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
ONE - MEETING AND PASSING PLACES ARE SHOWN AND THERE ARE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS.
TWO STATIONS NOT LISTED ON EARLIER OR LATER TIMETABLES ARE SHOWN:
NEW BROOKLYN AND WAMPMISSICK
NEW BROOKLYN WAS JUST WEST OF EAST NEW YORK.
A MARCH 04, 1853 ARTICLE IN THE BROOKLYN EAGLE STATES, "ALTHOUGH SCARCELY A YEAR
OLD, NEW BROOKLYN HAS BECOME A CONSIDERABLE VILLAGE, EXTENDING ALONG ATLANTIC
AND FULTON AVENUES AND THE BROOKLYN AND JAMAICA PLANK ROAD - A MILE OR MORE."
JOHNSON'S 1855 Map of Brooklyn Thanks to .bklyn-genealogy-info.com
1880 FROM WARD MAPS .COM
AN 1860 MAP
WAMPMISSICK IS A PASSENGER STATION AND MEETING
AND PASSING PLACE TWO MILES WEST OF MANOR.
THIS 1855 COLTON MAP SHOWS WAMPMISSICK AND ANOTHER PREVIOUSLY
UNKNOWN STATION " HERMANNVILLE" JUST EAST OF LAKELAND.
Go to ----> HERMANNVILLE
AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT WAMPMISSICK IS THE INDIAN
WORD FOR BLUEBERRY AND THAT THERE IS A WAMPMISSICK TRAIL
NEAR THE PINE BARRENS TRAIL INFORMATION CENTER IN MANORVILLE.
"Wampmissick is a Native American name for extensive swamps two miles west of Manorville."
I hope this helps.

THANKS LORRAINE!
IN THE EARLY 1940'S CLARENCE ASHTON WOOD WROTE,
AS LATE AS 1924 WAMPMISSIC (NO "K") SIDING WAS LISTED IN THE
C. R. 4. AND IT WAS SHOWN ON THE 1916 VALUATION PLANS.
NOTICE THE TIMES AT BEDFORD OF THE EASTBOUND FARMINGDALE TRAIN AND
THE WESTBOUND FREIGHT TRAIN AND WESTBOUND MAIL TRAIN - ALL 4:08 P. M.
AND THE WESTBOUNDS BOTH ARRIVED AT BROOKLYN AT THE SAME TIME - 4:30 P. M.
AFTER THE EASTBOUND PASSED, THE MAIL TRAIN PASSED THE FREIGHT AND
APPARENTLY THEY RAN SIDE BY SIDE TO SOUTH FERRY. PERHAPS ONE MAN
ON HORSEBACK WOULD PRECEDE BOTH TRAINS. IF THE TRAINS COUPLED
AND RAN AS ONE THERE WOULD BE NO NEED TO AWAIT THE EASTBOUND.
THIS REPRODUCTION OF THE DECEMBER 1, 1852 TIME TABLE SHOWS
AN ALTERATION OF THE SCHEDULE AND A PASSING SIDING BETWEEN
SUFFOLK STATION AND LAKELAND AT NICHOLS ROAD.
THIS 1857 MAP SHOWS A "WATER STATION" PROBABLY AT THE SAME LOCATION AS NICHOLS ROAD
A STUDY OF THE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REVEALS THAT THE CITY OF BROOKLYN
HAD SEVERELY RESTRICTED THE SPEED OF TRAINS BY REQUIRING THAT TWENTY -
TWO MINUTES BE TAKEN RUNNING THE TWO AND ONE HALF MILES BETWEEN
SOUTH FERRY AND BEDFORD AND THAT A MAN WITH A RED FLAG, ON HORSEBACK,
PRECEDE THE TRAIN BETWEEN THE EAST GATE OF THE TUNNEL AND FLATBUSH ROAD.
COMPARE THAT WITH THE RUN TEN YEARS EARLIER -
SEVENTEEN MINUTES CLINTON STREET TO JAMAICA
Go to ----> FAST TRAIN TO SUFFOLK STATION IN 1842
THESE THREE ARTISTS' RENDITIONS ALL SHOW THE TRAINS RUNNING
ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH WAS/IS THE PRACTICE IN ENGLAND. VERY
POSSIBLY THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD ADOPTED THIS PRACTICE IN 1836.
THIS IS THE END OF ATLANTIC STREET AT FLATBUSH AVENUE, 1842 - 1845.
