LI M-1's 7-23-87

Inbound and outbound LI M-1's (Budd 1968-73) pass at Hall tower Jamaica, Queens NY 7-23-87.

 

I do not envy the towerman at HALL or at JAY on the west side of Jamaica station. Every line of the LI except the one to Port Washington funnel through Jamaica and the station is incredibly busy. I imagine the stress level is quite high.

 

Line going level on both sides of tunnel is main line to Port Jefferson and Greenport (with branches to Hempstead, Oyster Bay, and Belmont Park). Train on right is going down ramp to the underpass to the branch to Babylon and Montauk.
