    I wonder how often they are blocked by vehicles? And how much of that trackage is still active?

    They Closed the 41street between 1st and 2nd Avenue I think in the early 1990's so that turn through the corner of the building is no longer (and will never be again) active.

    But the 1st Avenue still is in operation from
    65th Street Yard to the BUSH Terminal Yard
