That can't be the same bridge, or the same location; the topography is wrong. The current foot bridge at 67 Av connects Austin and Burns Streets at high points for both streets, which rise uphill from Yellowstone Blvd going west. The photo of that old bridge shows no high point on one side, just stairs going down to the platform.Also, to walk to the 67 Av IND station from the bridge, you would not have turned right onto Austin St after crossing the bridge, you would have continued straight on 67 Av, passing Wetherole, Booth, and Saunders Streets, to Queens Blvd and the subway station. I share your memory of watching the LIRR trains zooming by under the bridge; I waited for many a train to pass. From that vantage point, you can see far in both directions, especially west. |
