Description (written by the developer; not a statement by this register)
Ride, drive, or railfan a quieter side of the Long Island Rail Road with the West Hempstead Branch. Operate shuttle services between West Hempstead and Valley Stream, or ride them! Built by only 4 developers since 2023, this project has been worked on the longest. We hopefully will release about 2 updates a year, so look out for those! We are aware of all glitches and they will be fixed in the next update. Well everyone, it was nice well it lasted, but this project is over until roblox reverts all these terrible updates. Tomorrow, I will no longer be able to update or publish these games. This marks the unfortunate end of West Hempstead and even Island Studio as a whole. I'd like to thank everyone that contributed, sadly I can't put the names here but you know who you are. And all of you, for supporting and making this project possible. Goodbye.

Growth
Growth history is still building. We hold one measurement for this entry. A trend needs at least two, taken days apart — so this will fill in on its own rather than being estimated. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.

Concurrent players at each of our measurements (insert-on-change).
Monetization — game passes
Game passes for sale and their prices, measured from the Roblox passes API. Developer products bought inside the game aren’t publicly listable.
Badge funnel
How many players have ever earned each badge — a proxy for how far players get before they stop. Steep drop-offs mark where a game loses people. Win rate is the past-day share of players who earned it; categories are assigned by a language model from each badge’s own name and description.
