Here's a reminder of other trains named "Cannonball" or "Cannon Ball." ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:23, 24 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Mileage edit

See Talk:Port Washington Branch#Milage and Talk:Long Island Rail Road#Mileage. The mileage numbers used in this article are (through no fault of its own) wrong in two ways:

The distance given for Jamaica (9.3 miles) is the distance from Jamaica to Long Island City via the Main Line, not to Penn. That distance is actually 11.3 miles.
The distances for the Montauk Branch stations are all computed to Long Island City via the Montauk Branch, so they're all off by a little under two miles.

The actual distance from Penn to Montauk, looking at a 1945 Official Guide (unsuitable for this article, we need something modern), is around 117.4 miles. Mackensen (talk) 10:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
