The tracks of this station continue south of the station, down to 25th Street, to allow trains to be stored south of the station during off-peak hours.
There are also two diamond crossovers, one north and one south of the station.
The storage tracks at this location were constructed due to the Corona Yard in Queens lacking any space to hold any more trains, and expanding the yard is very difficult due to its location next to the Flushing River.
A new storage yard elsewhere would be prohibitively expensive, as it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
