Posted by Mellow One on Tue Oct 16 08:51:22 2007 More Photos by Frank Pfuhler have been uploaded to NYCSubway.org.There are several images of the LIRR Rockaway line before the NYCTA takeover of the line. There are 3 images of the LIRR Rockaway station at Brooklyn Manor dated 1956; img_75675, (this image) img_76024 and img_76025.  I am not familiar with the LIRR Rockaway line north of former Fulton El structure. Which subway line is crossing the LIRR at this location. Is Brooklyn Manor another abandoned LIRR station? |

Thanks for posting it.I notice that in LIRR days there were two stations between Howard Beach and Broad Channel - now the longest gap between two adjacent stations on the subway network. As I remember from travelling the A to Far Rockaway, there is nothing there except Jamaica Bay and its mudflats. What were those stations (Hamilton Beach and The Gaunt) for? |

It is from lirrhistory.com.Hamilton Beach has some civilization relatively nearby, IIRC, though not much. The Gaunt must be for bird watchers :) Or back then, pollution fans? Anyhow, I'm sure our various LIRR experts have a good answer. |

Thanks, I coud see it was the IND cars on the Jamaica Line. However, I traveled on that line only once or twice about 50 years ago. Has a recent photo of the area been posted? |

His pics have been one of the nicer additions to the NYCsubway.org collection. He must have been an employee, because of lots of yard shots, the incredible shots of the R32 demonstration on the NYC, etc... |

In this shot, it's clear that the el goes up pretty high to more than clear the LIRR, or, well, the ex-LIRR since the tracks probably went away long ago. |

The Rockaway ROW is closely bordered with buildings and is infested with trees along it's entire length here, and it crosses perpendicularly (if that word really exists) underneath it. Here's a good image:

The scene taken from the angle of the photographer would not be recognizable today. First off, not a single trace of that station exists today, the first I heard of it's (and Parkside's) existence was on nycsubway.org. I've walked the ROW many times between the old burned trestle over the Montauk line to the old Ozone Park station. It's now heavily forested with trees. Tracks are intact in sections, though the ballast has washed away. It's very dangerous, full of rats, racoons and the occasional stray dog. Stay away from the remnants of the Woodhaven station, it was full of homeless people when I was last there. Much of the ROW has been illegally encroached upon by homes which border in in Woodhaven and Ozone Park. Near Atlantic Ave, a section has been co-opted by a school bus company. Just south of the Glendale cutoff, an apartment building paved over a portion of it to use as a parking lot. |

Could be wrong though.

No, it looks like Far Rock immediatley after the IND took over. The R1/9 looks like a train relaying north of Beach 25th St, the terminal from 1956 to 1958. |

Landfill which created the "flats" and the Gateway National Preserve. The physical landscape would not look anything like it does in that picture.The scary thing to remember is if we get hit directly with a category 1 hurricane, all of that man-made land will disappear and with the Rockaway line now severed from the LIRR thru Valley Stream, Rockaway could become completely isolated. |

It'd have to connect to Queens Blvd, and it can't handle that sort of passanger increases. I think it has a greater future as a direct link from JFK to Manhattan via the LIRR to both Penn and GCT. |

I don't think Frank Pfuhler was a employee. There are a lot of streetcar/interurban pictures taken by him, all 40's and early/middle 50's) on several streetcar/interurban sites. |

I recall seing a mid 1950s map of the LIRR which showed a station called "Goose Creek" which if I remember was north of Broad Channel. Does anyone out there have any info about this station? |

Actually, the relay position was SOUTH of B 25 St (Wavecrest) station. When the IND first went to the Rockaways in 1956, the Mott Av station was not completed even though the crossover N/O where the station would be was in place. The Wavecrest trains relayed over the crossover until the new island platform was completed. The original LIRR Mott Av station was across Mott Av from the present NYCT station, but ultimately, the LIRR Far Rock terminal was move a few blocks east to Nameoke Av. |

(General Assembly, I think) met temporarily at the New York City building in Flushing Meadow Park (left over from the 1939-40 World's Fair) before they had a permanent building. They also met for a time at a former Sperry building in Lake Success. |
