A visit to New York City Transit Authority’s Corona Yards, including the new shop building and the Casey Stengel Bus Depot.
(The following text is quoted from Wikipedia…) Corona Yard is the yard facility in Flushing, Queens, that serves the IRT No 7 Flushing Line. It is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, near Citi Field, the National Tennis Center, and the site of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs.
Corona Yard opened in 1928 and has seen various models of cars, including Steinway Low-Vs, Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation/BMT Qs, R12s, R14s, R15s, World’s Fair R36s in 1964, and R62As. It also contains the Casey Stengel Bus Depot.
On August 16, 2006 the original 1928 shop building was demolished and was replaced by a new, modern shop.
