1314 at Woodside Station in May 1966. Double deckers were always unpopular with the public so served as smokers at the extreme ends of the trains in order to entice people away from the center. The train is on the Port Washington westbound track bound headed for Penn Station. There are 3 platforms and 6 tracks at this location. The Port Washington Branch joins the 4-track main at Winfield, then after the station stop, merges with the main.
