In their defense, they would have needed a longer distance than Supthin Blvd. to stay "open" since the yard is in ENY and they were able to lay up trains past Queens Blvd. For economic purposes, as it was lots of trains had to be deadheaded to/from ENY. If they ran to Supthin and had no layups out there, operating/personnel expenses would have been higher and even if a train went bad, there would be no gap train to replace it.

IIRC they were able to lay up 4 trains north of Queens Blvd., 2 on each track.
