The
A train is crossing over the Rockaway Avenue trestle. We are officially
on the former LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch!
The A train
goes kind of slow in this area. The ROW is very straight, so I wonder
why there is an apparent speed restrictions once the A train travels on
the Rockaway Beach line.
This is the Belt Parkway crossing. The A train crosses over the
Belt Parkway. A four-track configuration exists in this area.
A look
at the southbound A train signal poles and ROW. Fairly soon, one
may begin to question whether or not they are in New York City any longer,
as the train makes it's way southbound to the Rockaways.
Panning
to the right, an inlet of water from the bay runs parallel to the subway
ROW. Houses with docks in the foreground indicate a boating community
in this area. We will be traveling through some very beau colic areas
shortly.
