GG 1 from the train  Contributor's Pick!       
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.

Alan Page General Another great view by Dad, Tom! Sadly back then many thought "just another G" as they were so prolific and running so many trains. Sad we won't see them run again. 2/14/2016 6:40:15 AM
