The final end of track was at the brickworks purchased by A. T. Stewart,
allowing him rail access between the plant and his brick construction in
Garden City. It was the ONLY reason for the Bethpage branch spur. Dave

Far Rockaway engine house and turntable 1907 Archive: Art Huneke
This line was electrified by 12/11/1905. The tower was
in service on 6/18/1907 and this blueprint shows the tower and despite
electrification, a 2-stall engine house and turntable is still in use for
steam locomotives, which continued to operate along this branch at that
time, possibly for freight service. Emery's 1902 map of Far Rockaway shows
the 2-stall engine house and turntable. While his map doesn't show any
tracks for an electric yard (3 years still in the future), the blueprint
shows tracks between the engine house and turntable which is the start of
the "new" (1905) electric yard. Research: Dave Keller |
