railroad yard, fenced area
Repairs and anti-graffiti "squeegee" washes to subway rail cars are done here.
Home to the E, V, R, G trains. Home to plenty of R32s and R46s.
Visitors nostalgic about subway cars are often not welcome. Due to ongoing threats from potential terrorists and also from graffiti vandals, the guards since 2001 have not been friendly and approachable; approaching and asking questions will prompt demands for personal identification and possible intervention from the nearby Transit Police outpost. The MTA-NYC Jamaica Yard has been classed as a key "secure transportation facility."
