1961 Long Island Railroad ticket stub - Brooklyn Flatbush-Springfield Gardens NY

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is a commuter system in New York, stretching from Manhattan to the eastern tip of Suffolk County on Long Island. It is the busiest commuter railroad in North America, serving nearly 335,000 passengers daily. Established in 1834 and having operated continuously since then, it is the oldest U.S. railroad still operating under its original name and charter. There are 124 stations and more than 700 miles of track on its two lines to the two forks of the island and eight major branches. It is publicly owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The LIRR is one of two commuter rail systems owned by the MTA; the other one is Metro-North Railroad. The LIRR is the only commuter passenger railroad in the United States to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with significant off peak, weekend, and holiday service.

For auction is an agent's ticket stub for travel between Brooklyn (Flatbush Avenue) to Springfield Gardens, NY. 

The ticket stub, which is printed on medium-weight cardstock, measures appx 2 3/4 x 1 3/5 inches. From the agent's validation stamp on the back side, it is dated February 1961.
