Yes, Richmond Hill on the Montauk Branch in Queens, in the same spot it is today. That photo is from before the grade elimination.I know people get mixed up with the "Montauk Branch", which is the real one that runs out to Montauk. You have to remember that what is the Montauk Branch was built by the South Side Railroad (not the LIRR). It originall was built from Long Island City to Patchogue where it terminated. The LIRR bought the South Side railroad, but the "Montauk Branch" was considered from LIC all the way out east. Today of course, what is now the LIC line is still called the Western Montauk Division because it really was part of what is the LIRR Montauk Branch out east. |
