Brooklyn & Queens Transit
Witt 8163 at the rear (the non-street) side of the Fresh Pond Road Depot. The "Flushing" car is a bit of a mystery since these were normally operated from the Maspeth Depot. Perhaps the snow. For you non- Brooklyn/Queens fans: Flushing as a route refered to Flushing Ave. Flushing/Ridgewood as a route, operated out of Fresh Pond, refered to the two neighborhoods of "Flushing"  and "Ridgewood".  These cars only briefly travelled on Flushing Ave, and incidently did pass the Maspeth Carhouse. {At first I was puzzled by the apparent wrong side location of the Fresh Pond station of the Myrtle Ave El - I then remembered that cars coming up the ROW bound for the carhouse, crossed Fresh Pond, continued under the el, and entered(and left)at the rear. I don't think there was a direct exit to
the street from the Carhouse}
