Need some help identifying these two BMT locations.
Photo 1 - The date is July 22, 1961, the day of the farewell to the BMT Multi's fan trip.
Using the track #58 sign, is this Coney Island, East NY or Fresh Pond yard ?
Photo 2 - BMT electric loco #5000, I was told the most powerful engine of its time. Where could this possibly be ?
Judging by the utility poles and street light, there's a road that parallels the ROW.
There's an R-7 behind it so could this be Pitkin yard or the Rockaway line in Hamilton Beach ? (March 11, 1962)
