It had no address and no station house, because it was meant strictly as a dropping-off point for fishermen using a small island in Jamaica Bay.[1][2] The station was located 1300 feet west of signal station "ER" (presumably #96), and near the WU Tower. It was named for the channel on the south side of the island where it stood.[2] HistoryThe Raunt station opened in 1888 by the New York and Rockaway Beach Railway.[1][3][4] It had a wooden pedestrian bridge between the two sheltered platforms, and was electrified on July 26, 1905.[5][6] The Jamaica Bay Trestle was prone to fires, but The Raunt was the source of a May 7–8, 1950 fire that broke out between here and Broad Channel, destroyed the bridge over Jamaica Bay and thus doomed the entire line.[7] Service on the Rockaway Beach Branch west of Hammels continued only via the Far Rockaway Branch, until October 3, 1955, when the branch was abandoned west of Far Rockaway itself, along with the entire Rockaway Beach Branch south of Ozone Park. Both branches were sold to the New York City Transit Authority, which replaced the Rockaway Beach Branch, and the Queens half of the Far Rockaway Branch with the IND Rockaway Line. The Broad Channel station was replaced in 1956 as a subway station, but the small community at The Raunt was ordered demolished by Robert Moses and became part of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.[8][9] References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=Historical Views of the Rockaways |first=Emil |last=Lucev |url=http://www.rockawave.com/news/2004-10-15/Community/044.html |newspaper=The Wave |date=October 15, 2004 |accessdate=2010-03-27}} 2. ^1 {{cite map |publisher=United States Geological Survey |title=Brooklyn, NY Quadrangle |url=http://docs.unh.edu/NY/brkl98se.jpg |year=1898 |scale=1:62,500 |series=15 Minute Series (Topographic) |section=SE |accessdate=2010-03-27}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Hendrick |first=Daniel M. |title=Jamaica Bay |series=Images of America |year=2006 |publisher=Arcadia |location=Charleston |isbn=0-7385-4559-7 |page=34}} 4. ^{{cite book |first=Ron |last=Zeil |first2=Richard |last2=Wettereau |title=Victorian Railroad Stations of Long Island |year=1988 |publisher=Sunrise Special |location=Bridgehampton |page=88 |oclc=19319353}} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Meyers |first=Stephen L. |title=Lost Trolleys of Queens and Long Island |series=Images of Rail |year=2006 |publisher=Arcadia |location=Charleston |isbn=0-7385-4526-0 |page=119}} 6. ^{{cite book |last=Seyfried |first=Vincent F. |last2=Asadorian |first2=William |title=Old Queens, N.Y., in Early Photographs |year=1991 |publisher=Dover |location=New York |isbn=0-486-26358-4 |page=xi}} 7. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.prrths.com/Hagley/PRR1950%20Dec%2004.pdf |title=PRR Chronology, 1950 }} {{small|(50.5 KiB)}}, December 2004 Edition 8. ^{{cite news |title=Pilgrimage to an Urban Eden |first=John |last=Ferris |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qVYEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA26&pg=PA25-IA1 |work=Life |date=March 17, 1967 |pages=26–28 |accessdate=2010-03-27}} 9. ^{{cite news |title=Keeping Jamaica Bay For the Birds |first=Elizabeth |last=Barlow |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q9sCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA56 |newspaper=New York |date=December 8, 1969 |pages=56–62 |accessdate=2010-03-27}} External links
