So pretty much any freight car from any Railroad can be spotted in Fresh Pond if I'm understanding correctly? Just wann a make sure before I start buying cars for my HO layout. I only have six freight cars and one diesel.

ARRT'S ARRCHIVES has some undated shots of high-and-wide transformer loads that passed thru Fresh Pond:

And here's one from 2000, in Fresh Pond - it came up the Bay Ridge Line, and then out to Hicksville. R-142 subway cars were also off-loaded from flat cars and then taken down the Bay Ridge line to the Linden Shops.
