Scarred by sun and salt, an eternal vigil is nevertheless enacted on the corner of Northern Blvd. and 55th street in Queens where this centuried veteran holds fast. The tracks above are part of the fabled Hell Gate extension, which ultimately allows egress from the titan Sunnyside yard to the continent beyond for freight and passenger rail.

There’s a couple of announcements coming, describing some pretty cool “things to do”. Leave June 6th open, and be in Astoria… is all I can say right now.
