Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Tue Feb 4 15:40:14 2020, in response to Re: Guess the Location??...Not so easy!:), posted by tunnelrat on Tue Feb 4 14:19:36 2020. Hello SteveDo we DARE suggest (again !) that - perhaps -- At THAT time around end of 1949, -- a temporary single short track connection was made (as per my aerial image graphics on my earliest message here) between the IRT Corona Yard long straight Lead Track and the extremely close and south parallel westbound LIRR equally straight track at the location of the LIRR Port Washington Branch at what was the Willets Point LIRR Station ? Otherwise, - who the heck knows for sure. WHY wasn't that 1949 (BMT Q's from Flushing Line over to IRT 3rd Ave EL) move (and the 1923 move) ever actually print and photo documented by whatever rail historians were active back then. Also, how did those NON-1200 & 1400 series BMT EL gate cars (those not converted to Q types in 1939) get off the Flushing line (ie: back to Brooklyn or scrapping, whatever) after the 2nd Ave El closed in 1942 -- and the LI City LIRR/PRR to IRT one track connection was removed by 1928 ??!! Regards - Joe F |
