(rshsdepot) Whitestone branch remnant?

["fred fep" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

There was a quite sickening story today about a woman raped by a gang of 
sh_ts just off the LIRR platform near Shea Stadium
(Willet's Point stop I guess), in an overgrown are just west of 
Flushing-Corona Park, west of Grand Central, where a cut-off old curved 
track goes into the overgrown area,..

It seems to be curving up towards the east side of Flushing Bay, and 
could be the original turn-off for the old Whitestone branch...

Or just an old freight thing..

I have to assume now this area is to be cleared to prevent such an 
occurrence (it also shows that the type of wandering I have done in the 
past into and onto isolated abandoned areas with rail remnants might be 
too dangerous for today's deranged and perverse times.), so I have to 
think this remnant is soon gone...

Is it a remainder of the Whitestone branch?
