Corona
Yard
(Text and
photos by Jeremiah Cox on 7 December, 2003)
The Corona Yard is
the home of the 7 line and is its
only yard. The revenue service rooling stock is all R-62A. When I
was there, the work cars were R127-130 (the garbage train). and
there is an old revenue service car that has been converted to a
work car. The yard is easily viewed from the walkway across to
Flushing Medows Park that connects to Willets
Point-Shea Stadium. Next
to the yard is the small Casey Stangle Bus Depot. On the
otherside is the Long Island Rail Road Game/event day only Shea Stadium
Station. The tracks enter
the system between Willets Point-Shea Stadium and 111 Street meaning many rush hour 7 trains
terminate at 111 Street.
