Yard shot from the LIRR |
| Description: |
Dad rode the LIRR to work every day from our home in Little Neck, which gave him a good shot passing Sunnyside yard. If he saw something interesting-he was partial to GG 1s-hed grab a shot. Heres 4864 in the Scotchlite lettering waiting to back down onto a train. Check the cars in yard A-there's a DLW Phoebe Snow box car, a Pennsy 50 ft double door box, as well as IC and EL cars. Overhead is Queens Blvd; above it is the IRT Flushing Line, which was not yet designated the #7. |

GG 1 from the train |
| Description: |
Dad caught this G in Sunnyside yard while passing on the Long Island. At right is Queens Blvd, with its IRT Flushing elevated line. Going toward Manhattan, it leads to Queensboro Plaza station, seen at the center top of the photo. There, transfer can be made to the BMT Astoria Line, which goes straight into the 60th St tunnel, and will make its next stop at 59th and Lexington. The IRT will curve sharply south, making Court Square, then Hunterspoint Av before going underground. |
