Oh, so THAT's what the big brick building was.Yup. I couldn't understand why they would knock such a beautiful church building down, but recently learned it was set on fire by arsonists in 1977. Here's another angle of Our Lady of Lourdes Church taken in 1969 (the back or the church), 8 years before it burned, although, as you can see, the neighborhood was already beginning to burn, as you can see from a few of the other buildings in the photo. Within a few years, most of the remaining builings also burned or :lost their windows".  Anyway, here is photos from nycsubway.org at East New York Yard of what your typical train looked like around 1981 to 1985 (these were takeb in 1982). And yes, they ran like this everyday.
