This shot of a westbound Oyster Bay train shows the facilities at Queens Village. The station is along Jamaica Av, which parallels just to the north. At the east end of the station is a signal bridge. It marks the west limit of Queens interlocking, which is controlled by Queens tower, seen to the right of the train. Also in Queens interlocking limits is the connection to the now out of service Belmont Spur, which leaves the Main Line here to reach Belmont Racetrack, home of the Belmont Stakes, a triple crown event.
