Between these images and your description in the other thread I became curious if any of this infrastructure still exists. I've highlighted the Flushing line in purple, IRT shop track in cyan, PRR connector in red, and another PRR track, which I believe is what the connector branched from, which appears to have connected the Sunnyside Yard exit with tunnel line 2.

The track schematic:

The 1915 view, note the PRR connectors:

The city 1924 aerial:

Modern Google Maps aerial. I'm not sure if the red track is the same or not - it looks like it's in about the same place but it seems to disappear and reappear in different aerial maps. If so, it's quite neat that this piece of "temporary" infrastructure which was so critical to the Flushing line might not have been totally erased.
