Is this the LIRR Flushing Bridge St station ?

I don't see enough space to the right of the name Flushing on the sign to accommodate the words Bridge St.

After enlarging the photo I think I see the word BRIDGE in lettering half the size of FLUSHING, leaving room for STREET underneath.

Flushing (Bridge Street) station (view E) - Reefer cars at left on siding for Swift & Co. Old newsstand facing street at end of station platform - c. 1925 (James V. Osborne photo/Dave Keller archive)

You can definitely see "Bridge" much clearer in the second photo, but I don't think "Street" is below it. "Bridge" is centered vertically to have room enough below it.

I'll concur. But, it does resolve Newkirk's OP, I hope! ;-)
