Photo Time Travel Bayside Freight House

Posted by Avid Reader on Mon Jul 16 16:10:35 2018

And now you know the whole story, almost.
Bayside freight house View W 8/17/1929
The electrified siding going into the coal yard provided DD1 electric locomotives to pull freight in third rail territory, freeing up locomotives to operate in steam territory. The "run around" to the right of freight house removed 1938.

Bayside freight house, track workers and the temporary block cabin B2 that controlled the temporary single track in place during the grade elimination project from June 18 to December 5, 1929 when it was placed out of service during the grade elimination - Fall, 1929

LIRR valuation photo shot after the grade elimination was completed at Bayside. You can see the concrete retaining walls as the two tracks dip into the cut, and all the embankments finished off.

The old freight house was torched by vandals and, as a result, demolished shortly after this photo was taken. What appears to be a bridge in the distance over the tracks (causing the shadow) is the road bridge and beyond, the covered pedestrian crossover at the Bayside station. The westbound concrete platform is visible to the right of the tracks.
