"Well then, the rails must just be rusty from perhaps a rainy weekend or something....service was pretty scarce on the line once it was severed at Ozone Park for the IND."

I know for a fact that the Rockaway Line to Ozone Park was single tracked using the Penn Station bound track. When walking the branch in the 1990 I even saw the switch where trains switched to the this single track. IIRC it was near where it branched off the four track mainline.

I have a slide of a fantrip taken at the Brooklyn manor station and the rails were also lightly rusted. The fantrip must have been in the early 50's because the MP-54's had the grey/white scheme without the orange front.
