When the MTA wants something done ASAP, they waste no time. Kinda what happened to the Elmhurst Sta of the LIRR. After the station was closed, it seemed to vanish overnight. I remember going to College in Staten Island driving on the BQE to make a class & seeing large pieces of cut up El structure (assuming form the Myrtle) on flatbeds heading south, for some scrapper somewhere. Sad sight for a then entry level railfan |
