I have hopes for transit uses of Belmont Park too. Frankly, with better service to the LIRR stops already in SE Queens, that would actually make bringing subway service through there a lesser priority to my mind.

Of course, infrastructure improvements would be required. The terminal still retains its low platforms, which is a problem because all active LIRR equipment works with high platforms. Also, the move to/from the mainline via QUEENS interlocking is accomplished at very low speeds, from my observations. That would need to be corrected because it's a crossing at grade, and takes way too long as is.
