Re: Guess the Location??...Not so easy!:)

A 1924 Aerial photo map of NYC shows the Flushing Line Elevated structure under construction north of 103rdh Street, with the skeletal steel trackways visible in the vicinity of the 111th Street station.

The area where Corona Yard is today is shown as marsh area, with no buildings or other physical work having been done. The LIRR Port Washington line is clearly shown adjacent to the future Corona Yard facility, along with the Junction to the LIRR Whitestone Branch.

Link to NYC GIIS Map is below. Drill down using the default street grid, then switch to the aerial photo year of choice. The 1951 photo year is has pretty bad detail, with the 1924 version being much better.
