Head end         
The excursion train had come in off the N-Sea Beach line, with this being the head end. It will return via the Brighton Line, retaining its positon as leader. The R 32 cars on the adjacent track numbered over 600, and were the workhorses of the B Division. I dont recall the track assignments of that era, but the B-West End line got those cars on most every train, so Im thinking thats the line next to us. This station also served the D, M, and QB trains via the Brighton Line, and the F on the Mc Donald Av line, which had been an IND route south of Church Av since 1954.
