What is the "Creedmore Creeper " ?
It was the name given to the passenger trains to Creedmore Psychiatric Hospital by LIRR employees. The name "Creeper" referred to the speed the trains traveled down the branch but may have had other, less politically correct implications, as well. The histories of the branch and hospital are quite interesting:
