Lines on the 1923 map but not on this list:

  • west from Ozone Park on Rockaway Boulevard and 101st Avenue
  • 139th Street from Jamaica Avenue south to Archer Avenue
  • Sanford Avenue and Parsons Boulevard from Bowne Street east and north to Barclay Avenue in Flushing
  • Far Rockaway to Roche's Beach on private ROW from the LIRR, Beach 20th Street, New Haven Avenue/Brookhaven Avenue, and Beach 19th Street - might have been Jamaica and South Shore Railroad

"On November 10, 1919 the New York and Queens Trolley Company rearranged its lines, cutting the original Corona trolley route in half." (due to the IRT Corona Line) It may have been split at Woodside then, since the 1923 description on [1] takes it to Flushing. --NE2 17:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just removed some links so they wouldn't lead to any subway lines that they weren't supposed to lead to. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 18:09, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
