Posted by NYRailman on Wed Mar 2 14:34:55 2011, in response to Re: LIRR Rockaway Branch aka The Dead Tracks, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Nov 26 00:22:28 2010. I do have some recent pics from last year, mostly taken from street level in some spots as I was riding my bike along the route when I took them. The only exceptions being around the location of the Glendale cut-off which was pretty easy to access while on a bike and from the southernmost portion of Forest Park at Park Lane South. I didn't include those because as you've mentioned above those 20 years have made a huge difference. I climbed the embankment to the tracks and when I took some photos there really wasn't any room to manuever around and get any kind of noteworthy shot. The plant growth was so thick (I made the mistake of doing this in the beginning of the summer season) that it looked like I was standing in someone's garden in a backyard! The particular section of track that I stood in was just before the overpass on Park Lane South and had experienced really bad washouts of the railbed foundation over the years - I'm talking at least 2 feet deep in some places. I'll post what pics that I can soon. |
