Rego Park, The Rockaway Branch, just south of the under jump.

Correct and correct.

What gave it away for me was the signal head number C06 06. C06 is Arlington Cemetery, 06 is outbound track C1.

The property was seized by the Union after the war. Lees son (George Washington Custis Lee) sued the federal government to get it back and won. He sold it back to the federal government in 1883 for $150,000.

A little piece of history few know, The Arlington Cemetery metrorail station is built on the former right of way of the Virginia and Washington Railway.

That and also seeing the tracks curve off in that distance in the background and having all those trees on the side of the ROW in a place that the photographer could (legally, let's assume) get to. Not sure there is anywhere else on the Blue Line with so many trees so close to the trains, but I'm willing to say there isn't one with such public a vantage point.
