7-Scape No.16 - 111th St-Roosevelt Av

On this December afternoon rush-hour, a Manhattan-bound 7 train begins
service as it enters 111th St/Roosevelt Avenue Station from Corona Yard.

This elevated complex, above Roosevelt Avenue, is a local station. Unlike more typical local stations
along the 7 Line, the center tracks are not for peak-direction rush-hour express trains. Instead, such
trains bypass this station on the flyover ramp. Thus, the wide expanse of center trackage, seen here
between the Manhattan- and Flushing-bound platforms, serves as yard leads to the nearby expansive
Corona Yard, where the 7 fleet is maintained, as well as stored between peak traffic periods.

In the tele-compressed distance, at left, another Manhattan-bound 7 train
can be seen just leaving Mets-Willetts Point Station to the east.

My "7Scapes" series captures the long eleven-car trains of the New York City Subway system's IRT No. 7
Flushing Line, at stations between 34th Street-Hudson Yards and Flushing-Main Street in Queens.
About the series and how it came to be ;-)

excellent composition and perspective. The colour tone gives a very dramatic air to the scene.

Oh Man...I can't remember we have been there...You shot there without me...but the next time we shot together I wish we come back together to this station.
This is a strong shot with fine colors and a wonderful iron structure. I love how the the 7 Train come into the game...it's an Eye-catcher.
Regards HG

  Thank you, H-G! Yes, let's definitely put it on our shooting agenda next time. This one was from December 2017 as I returned from first 7 ride to Flushing. Would have stayed longer, but it was last day of trip and had to get back into Manhattan. Definitely worth spending more time here!

great perspective and visual depth ... well composed, and I
like the "frame" of blue structural steel for this train scene ...
best wishes for your week,
Adele
