The LIRR is a railroad system that has trains that go on train tracks above ground and sometimes underground as it hits Manhatten and brooklyn. The NYC subway is totally different. The NYC subway has buses that run on streets underground and sometimes elevated. The NYC is essentially an urban bus system that has buses that go more underground.

To get to 225 Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn from Wantagh, NY by train, take the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) from Wantagh Station to Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn. From Atlantic Terminal, you can either walk or take the subway. If walking, head northwest on Flatbush Avenue, then turn left onto Hanson Place and continue onto Cadman Plaza.

What is the best way to get from Brooklyn to Freeport Long Island on public transportation?

The LIRR (Long Island Railroad) stops at Freeport. It would be a shorter trip if you could board the train at the Hunterspoint Station in Queens, but I guess the LIRR does not run from Hunterspoint to Freeport, because when I entered it into the schedule finder, it said that, "This station combination is invalid." So I guess you have to start out from Penn Station. For subway directions to Penn Station, please ask another question, i.e., "How do you get from [insert address here] in Brooklyn to Penn Station?" See the Related Link below for schedules and fares for the LIRR.
