Getting Trains To The Outer Boroughs


Tommy Healy sent us some follow up photos to his last series about the subway. Here is what he had to say:

As a follow up.  The below photo shows one car of a 10 car train that was cut up.  It's being lifted and  swung off it's wheel sets and will be lowered to a flat bed truck located down in the street. Once it arrives in the rockaways and is reassembled,  the train will run locally bringing passengers to awaiting shuttle buses. It will be a while before the tracks are repaired.
