 In early times, the "Scoot" ran frequently between Greenport on the North Fork, "around the horn" on the Manorville Branch, and east to Sag Harbor.In their day, both of those villages were very busy, bustling ports.The South Side Railroad of Long Island built the line from Bushwick, Brooklyn to Patchogue in the 1860s, and completed the new line to Long Island City in 1870.
