FBA trackside didn't look like that when I worked there in 1972!

So Doug, what's the verdict? Did that connection between the LIRR and IRT ever have any tracks on it?Bob, as you know there is no "smoking gun" to give 100% proof on the existance and/or use of the connecting track. Sure the switch and connecting track was most likely there but was it ever USED??? That's the real question we all want answered.

In the future, could you please link to my photos on my site and not upload them to your personal photobucket account, thereby implying that you were the photographer (since you did not give me any credit)? That way people will know the appropriate source of the shot (me). You can also hotlink from my gallery, I don't mind.

You'll definatly be underwhelmed by what you see at the LIRR portion of the Atlantic complex.I disagree. Since the terminal has been refurbished in the last couple years, it looks completely different and much nicer, as you can see in my photo in this thread. It no longer looks like "any underground terminal", it now looks pretty nice. It lost that "no one cares" look.
