Which ironically is when the old Belmont Park grandstand was condemned (actually January 1963), with racing at Aqueduct for the next five years while the current grandstand was built (opening I believe May 26, 1968). |

I would have thought that with that much time to complete the re-build and move of the LIRR Terminal platforms, a better platform would have been built. .JPG) 1905 view looking east we see the original Belmont Park Race Track station with 4 steam-drawn trains and one electric MU train. Opened in 1905.
