Woodhaven was a very dimly lit station with minimal incandescent bulbs. It was probably difficult to photograph. |

This may be true, but so were stations like 91st St, 18th St, etc dimly lit with incandescent bulbs, but plenty of photos, both historic and current are all over the internet. |

Either that, or we will have to start a campaign to reopen it permanently. They are, after all, talking about reopening a LIRR station in Elmhurst. Such an idea is much more practical than many other ideas that have been floated around these parts. |

But at some point it looks like fluorescent lights were added to it, based on the RFW view of the abandoned station. |

This is true, but then again, would the stats on potential usage back up a need to do so? Again, it would still be an LIRR station if it reopened, and I don't know how much demand for it there would be there at the cost and train frequency it would provide. |

Yes, I have noticed that too. There's definitely fluorescent lighting in the station, but don't know if it was added when they were redoing tunnel lighting, or if it was there at the end.The other photo showing it when it was still open shows it with incandescent bulbs, but don't know how old that photo is. Those two photos are the only known photos I have ever seen of the station....the older one when it was open showing the stairway, and the railfan view on the same page. Anyone ever see any other photos? |

I think it would be worth reopening if the Atlantic branch went to Manhattan or if it was made part of a larger subway line. As it stands now though, it would take a big neighborhood drive, assuming the people even remember it's there. |

If at least a stub end of the subway reached up that far it would be a convenient way to get to Aqueduct from the eastern part of Long Island instead of sitting in seemingly interminable airport traffic on the Belt Parkway. It could be a shuttle between Woodhaven and Howard Beach. But then again, if they ever get a casino in Nassau or Suffolk that would be less of a consideration. |

If the Rockaway line reopened as a subway, the underground Woodhaven station would be a great thing to be reopened, with a nice new Rockaway Line Woodhaven station above it.Without that, I dont see the station reopening. |

Yes, that's basically what I just said too. It would be great to reopen if the Rockway line was opened as a subway line with a station there. It's amazing the possibilities, and it's still inconcevable that the line was left to rot since 1962. A great rail line, grade separated, and screaming for subway conversion was right there, and they left it rot. |

When did it close, 1976? The photo clearly shows it, but it must have been added way at the end of it's life.This is the only known photo of the station, other than the one below it which is older, and did not have the lighting.

Many a time in the 1960's, my mother would take me down there on a Sunday visit, bought a ticket from the agent, whose office was imbedded in the wall (living in Woodhaven back then) to Grandma's in Cedarhurst.About 5 minutes before it would come, the MP54 headlight would SLOWLY start to glow as it came around the bend from ENY, then get brighter and brighter until it was like an alien space ship as it entered the station because you could see NOTHING but that bright headlight. It was fun watching that MP54 act like a subway train and screech to a halt. Then off we went. About a block east was a coffee shop restaurant with a stuffed swordfish hung up on an interior wall. I think it was called "The Shell Restaurant". |

What my mother used to call the "franchise train" ceased operation in 1962. They had already downsized to one train per day, single track.I think they should have downsized further so as to preserve the franchise: de-electrify and run an RS1 and 2 P54 coaches from Hunterspoint to Ozone Park. Had they kept that up all these years, Airtrain might never have happened, or at least they'd have an active rail line today, and the NIMBY's would be impotent. |

I think its because Robert Moses was still in power in 1962 and emphasis was placed on cars and not mass transit. Having gone to school in the area in the mid-1970's, I can tell you that the line between the Whitepot Underjump and the Yellowstone Boulevard overpass was already in very bad shape even then. |

It was closed for low usage and to speed service on the line in 1976. Unless something has changed, the usage today probably would not justify the cost of renovation. It will remain a curio. |

Even if the Rockaway line is reopened as a subway...dunno. Everyone wants a faster way into Manhattan or at least to a desirable destination. The Atlantic branch only goes to downtown Brooklyn, and it would need fairly frequent service (~15 min intervals), maybe even free transfers, to prevent people from just getting on the A train to downtown Bklyn. |

It comes down to the fare. Who wouldn't want a 15-minute trip to Atlantic Terminal and connections to most subway trunk lines, over the Q24 and the J/Z? But if the service costs 2-3x what the bus and subway do? No thanks. |

That's the thing to plan for. |

It was a rather boring, IND-ish station.Who has ever taken a picture of Woodhaven Blvd-Slattery Plaza ? Robert Moses was in favor of converting the Rockaway Line to the subway, but NOT the Queens IND. I think his ulterior motive was to throw the Rockaways a bone and abandon the line up to Whitepot. The MTA stupidly allowed the 3rd Ave and Myrtle Ave els to be replaced by buses. They would have been no more sympathetic to the RBB in 1962 had the MTA existed then, and still in 2014 seems psychologically opposed to it. The LIRR was trying to kill as many station in Queens as they could get away with right through the 1980's. |

"It was a rather boring, IND-ish station."i object, your honor. the fact that it looks like no other lirr station makes it interesting. the fact that it's a commuter railroad station that looks like a subway station makes it interesting. the fact that it has only one entrance/egress point per platform makes it interesting. the fact that it's on the shortest lirr branch, staton count-wise, makes it interesting. the fact that it's the only fully intact abandoned lirr station makes it interesting. the fact that at one time you could exit there and transfer to an elevated lirr station and head to either the atlantic ocean or the middle of the greatest city in the (known) universe makes it interesting. finally, the fact that it served woodhaven, queens, once considered a suburb which has since been absorbed by the city around it...makes it interesting. i rest my case. |

In case anyone gets any ideas, just because the line has no overnight revenue service doesn't necessarily mean that no equipment or work trains use it-- walking there along the tracks is very risky at any time, and it is, after all, a straightaway where maximum speeds are quite high. I'll settle for the few glimpses I've had from the front car of an M-3. |

Due to your bot-like behaviour, I'm going to need to verify that you're actually human before I continue.Please type the text you see in this image:

From watching the RFW video posted elsewhere in this thread, the tunnel has a catwalk, if you walk on that and use common sense you should be fine, even if a deadhead came barreling though. |

Uhhh, it's still probably not a smart thing to do. I'd be happy to merely gain access to Woodhaven station. I remember a cousin who lived in Richmond Hill telling me he and some friends went down there a few times, sometime in the `70's. Haven't been around the area for years, is there any trace of the stairway entrance left? |
