Posted by NorthShore on Sun Mar 18 17:03:02 2012, in response to [OLD PHOTO] Check This Out, posted by Newkirk Images on Mon Dec 27 20:34:41 2010. This photo is Queens Plaza with the BMT Standards headed to Manhattan from Astoria.The B72 was housed in the old Maspeth Car Barn until c.1955 when it was demolishied for the L.I.E. After being displaced an open area of Queens Plaza was used until the remote Brooklyn Division route could be transferred to the Queens Division-Flushing Depot. The Twin Coach buses were part of an order placed by North Shore (160-199) but delivered to NYC BOT after take over. The fleet nos. were North Shore's and never changed (similar to North Shore's other postwar Twins -150-159 & GM 4507's -300-319). The route from Ditmars Blvd. to Corona Av. (connecting with B58). Roosevelt Av. was a short turn to connect with the I.R.T. Flushing Line. |
