LIRR Photo at NYCSubway.org |
|
|
Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Oct 18 12:12:49 2005 Geez, I know this will get old what with all the "mystery" photos amd new photos at nycsubway.org, but wow, where in the world is this taken?There's a station platform here, and huge gas tanks. A six track LIRR line. Hunterspoint Ave station perhaps? I gues the gas tanks are gone now?

No, it IS electrified!This is a good picture, clearly it's not Woodside, can't be Elmhurst (side platforms). Remember, it looks like the PW branch is still there before it branches off. |

They're both definately the same station, between Woodside and Jam. The building/covered roadway that goes over the tracks is still there today...I'm just not sure of the station name. Kew Gardens might be it. |

This is taken at Greenport from the other side of the building: AFIK, both sides of the Oyster Bay station flat framed doors, while Greenport's are arched like the mystery photo. Also, IINM, the roof brackets at Oyster bay are plainer. Greenport's have more scroll to them, or at least they did before the station was redone some years ago:  I don't have my own photos handy right now, so neither of those are mine, I got them in Google images. |
