Roosevelt Avenue and the Grand Central Parkway

\[Flushing Line tracks looking east to Willets Point Boulevard IRT station, Queens, NY] Looking east along the tracks of the new IRT Corona (now Flushing) Line extension to Main Street, Queens, NY. from a point over Roosevelt Avenue and the future Grand Central Parkway Extension. Corona Rail Yards are on the far right, future Shea Stadium will be built on the field to the left. The tiny 2 side platform Willets Point Blvd station is accessed at 126 Street in the distance, about 3 blocks east of the current station which was built in 1938 for the 1939 World's Fair. The ramp to Flushing Meadows Park spanning a parking lot and the Casey Stengel Bus Garage will eventually all be built on the field with the one house to the right. The house is on a dirt road projection of 41 Avenue around 123 Street which was never opened.
