flushing citizens, feeling they had been tricked into building the flushing and woodside in order to scare the flushing and north side into selling out to the lirr, convinced wealthy residents of college point and whitestone, including conrad poppenhusen, to incorporate the flushing and north side railroad on april 3, 1868. this company had the right to build a line from long island city to flushing and beyond to roslyn, with a branch from flushing to whitestone. the group gained control of the unfinished flushing and woodside railroad, and opened its line to flushing, paralleling the lirr from long island city to woodside, in 1868 and to college point and whitestone in 1869. this new line attracted most of the traffic from the older new york and flushing, and the lirr wanted to get rid of its flushing branch. in 1869, the new york state legislature authorized the flushing and north side to buy the new york and flushing east of the lirr crossing at connections were built by the flushing and north side at woodside/winfield and flushing to connect its lines. the new york and flushing continued to own the line west of winfield, and soon became the south side railroad's access to long island city. the segment between what was to become the former and stations was abandoned for passenger service in 1875, and completely abandoned in 1880. part of the right-of-way ran through what is today the mount zion jewish cemetery in maspeth. the flushing and woodside was merged into the flushing and north side in 1871, and its line was abandoned in favor of the ex-new york and flushing line.
