Hammel (automobile)

The Hammel is an early car from Denmark, built by Urban Johansen und Albert F. Hammel. It is connected with some controversy regarding its exact year of construction. One claim is that it was introduced in 1886, making it one of the very first motorcars in the world. Other sources mention the years between 1887 and 1890 as more probable. Only one was constructed. It has been restored and is exhibited in the Technological Museum in Helsingør.

Hammels (LIRR station)

Hammels (formerly Hammel) was a Long Island Rail Road station on the Rockaway Beach Branch in Hammels, Queens. It was located at what is today Beach 84th Street at the west leg of the Hammels Wye.

History

Hammels station was originally built in June 1880 by the New York, Woodhaven & Rockaway Railroad. The station and the summer resort community it served were named after local landowner, Louis Hammel (1836-1904), who leased the Eldert House hotel from Garret Eldert in August 1869, even though he also had his own hotel along the coast of Jamaica Bay. Eldert House was located on the east side of what is today Beach 85th Street, and had a separate station built by the former South Side Railroad of Long Island's Far Rockaway Branch called Eldert's Grove Station (see below).

In 1887, the NYW&R went bankrupt and was reestablished by Long Island Rail Road president Austin Corbin as the New York and Rockaway Beach Railway. Hammels station survived the takeover. That year a connection was made between the former Far Rockaway Branch and the NY&RB, thus creating what is known today as "Hammels Wye." The SSRRLI abandoned the line west of Hammels after that. Hammels station was rebuilt during the Spring of 1888. In 1898, Ocean Electric Railway trolleys connected the Far Rockaway Branch to the NY&RB and used Hammels station as a stop. The year Hammel died was also the year the station officially became part of the LIRR's Rockaway Beach Branch. When Beach Channel Station closed on May 31, 1905, Hammels became the last station on the Rockaway Beach Branch before crossing the Beach Channel Drawbridge. On April 19, 1907, the LIRR installed the "FX Tower" in an effort to control movements between regular trains and trolleys. Trolley services ended east of the station in 1926 and west of the station in 1928, but the southern leg of Hammels Wye continued to serve LIRR trains.
