- Elmhurst_gas_tanks abstract "The Elmhurst gas tanks (officially the Newtown Holder Station) were a pair of large natural gas storage gasometers in Elmhurst, Queens, in New York City. They were a collection of two 200-foot-tall (61 m) gas tanks. The Elmhurst gas tanks were bordered on the south by 57th Avenue and the Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495), on the north by Grand Avenue, on the west by the LIRR-operated Bay Ridge Branch, and on the east by 80th Street. Built between 1910 and 1921, the gas tanks were built to hold gas. Until the 1960s, the gas tanks were maintained by an inspector using a little rowboat. Due to the increasing prevalence of much more compact gas cylinders, Brooklyn Union Gas demolished the gas tanks in 1996, and in 2011 the Elmhurst Park was opened on the former site of the gas tanks.Because the Long Island Expressway frequently became congested in that area, "backup at the Elmhurst Gas Tanks" became a familiar phrase in radio traffic reporting. Being literal rather than legal landmarks, the gas holders were removed in 2001.".
