The Brickyard at Bethpage State Park
A railroad spur completed in 1873, known as the Bethpage Branch of the Central Railroad of Long Island, ran to a brickworks plant which had opened in Old Bethpage in the 1860s. The railway was built to transport bricks for the construction of Alexander Stewart's Garden City. For a few years, regularly-scheduled passenger traffic also appeared in timetables, with the station being called Bethpage. The line was abandoned in 1942. Remnants of a locomotive turntable can be found in the woods of Bethpage State Park on the east side of Round Swamp Road.
The brickyard has disappeared but you can still find plenty of bricks scattered around at the bottom of the hill. There are bike trails around here that are popular with local mountain bikers so you may have to use a little stealth if they are around. The cache is a medium size Lock & Lock hidden a little ways off the trail. You don't have to climb the fence, there is another way. Don't park on Round Swamp Road, you may be ticketed.
