Corona Yard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corona Yard is the yard facility in Flushing, in the New York City borough of Queens, that serves the IRT Flushing Line (7) of the New York City Subway. It is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, near Shea Stadium, the National Tennis Center, and the site of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs.

Corona Yard opened in 1928 and has seen various models of cars, including Steinway Low-Vs, Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation/BMT Qs, R12s, R14s, R15s, World's Fair R36s in 1964, and R62As.

On August 16, 2006, the original 1928 shop building was demolished, and will be replaced by a new, modern shop currently under construction.
