Posted by gp38/r42 chris on Wed Jan 15 18:25:37 2020 At first I assumed this was Rockaway line, but the tracks on the right look too new to me.What is this? Is it Rockaway? https://untappedcities.com/2020/01/14/guerrilla-art-installation-along-decommissioned-railroad-corridor-in-queens/

One of the viaducts connecting the cutoff to the main has been removed altogether. I think the other may still be there, but I wouldn't want to be on a train using it even if it is. |
