Either Coney Island or City yard. This was an usual occurrence, with new M-1's coming on board, the LIRR had some MP,T or P-54's scrapped in Coney Island yard. That meant the consist traveling down the Bay Ridge branch with interchange at Parkville Jct and down to Coney Island yard via street trackage on McDonald Ave. I've never seen any photos of the move on McDonald Ave. If anyone has any, please post.
On the first image, note that MP-54's are sitting on a track shared with BMT Standards (AB's). That track was reserved for scrapping of rolling stock.
The second image is a car that was possibly a storage or locker car for employees. Notice the porthole windows plated over.
On the last image, note subway cars in the back looking like A-B's.
