Here are the maps for reference if they help.

I never saw it working so I could be wrong.This is part of the Steve Hoskins collection. He was accurate as to locations. This was from the 1960's photo group and perhaps was removed sometime after.

Here is a 1969 view of the car washer at Hunterspoint Avenue, from the collection of Dave Keller. The view is looking east.
The car washer mechanism in this photo looks virtually identical to the one in the first photo above. However, I would agree that the machine washing the 2947 is located at Morris Park rather than Hunterspoint Avenue.
Does the Hunterspoint Avenue car washer still exist? If it does, is it still used for washing trains serviced at the LIC passenger yard?
