(rshsdepot) Question about L.I. Depot in Long Island City

["Verne and Joan Brummel" <jmb_@_msn.com>]

Hi Jim,
Could you, Paul or anyone else on this list tell me about the Long Island
depot at Long Island City? I know that the L.I. had a station building at
Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn (I've seen pictures of that), but have wondered
for some time what kind of station once stood at the L.I.C. terminal, and
what is there now. Thanks in advance for any information!
