trainfan22 Posted June 8, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 8, 2009 Are there any pics of the Far Rockaway Depot? Also, what routes operate from that depot? Photo here.. http://gallery.bustalk.info/displayimage.php?pid=10367&fullsize=1 There isn't much of an depot, the only thing thats indoors is the maintence barn, all the buses are stored outside in an storage lot. The crazy thing about that photo is that all the equipment in the picture (Except the Orion V) is retired. Their routes are Q11, Q21, Q22, Q35, QM15, QM16, QM17, QM18 and QM23.
