A group of friends who call themselves The Train Girls all met and became friends while riding the Long Beach line of the Long Island Rail Road. Combined, they have 283 years riding the LIRR, and have stayed close for decades. They talked about their lifelong friendship on June 12 and two days later had a reunion at the Oceanside train station.  Credit: Newsday / John Paraskevas; Howard Simmons
