Long stretches of the subway system are outdoors in
Queens, mostly on old elevated structures. The Astoria Line (N and
W trains) has only seven stations in the borough before it heads into
Manhattan; this photo shows a train at
the Ditmars Blvd. terminal.
Heavy-duty, electrified
Boston to New York and Washington passenger rail traffic takes place nearby on the
long, high approach to Hell Gate Bridge.
