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 Keller

April 1878 timetable has trains terminating at Bethpage where there was an brick enginehouse and 50' turntable, and stopping at Farmingdale requiring  a reverse move at Bethpage Junction. Archive/Research: Art Huneke

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
