Appreciate the help.
Steve: This picture looks west from the elevated structure of the JFK Airtrain towards Atlantic Avenue
which is to the left of the warehouse building. The Van Wyck Expressway is down below behind the yard.
The LIRR yard tracks are on the site of the old Dunton Car Repair Shop. I believe the name for this is the
Johnson Avenue Yard. Jay Tower and the tracks into Jamaica Station are to the far right...MACTRAXX

EXPRESS TRAIN TO NEW YORK PENN STATION-NO JAMAICA ON THIS TRAIN-PLEASE STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING TRAIN DOORS
Johnson Ave. Yard looking west. Track car is on what was/is the Brooklyn Freight
Yes, the photo is from the air train looking west.
Johnson Ave yard is in the background. The yard is numbered 1-4, North to South. The M7 is on track 1, M9 on track 2.
The track car is located on what will be Atlantic No. 4 track (tracks are being re-configured). Continuing east turns into track 12 in Jamaica. Those crossover switches just east of the track car, are west of Platform F (tracks 11/12) in Jamaica station.
