Lines on the 1923 map but not on this list:
- west from Ozone Park on Rockaway Boulevard and 101st Avenue
- 139th Street from Jamaica Avenue south to Archer Avenue
- Sanford Avenue and Parsons Boulevard from Bowne Street east and north to Barclay Avenue in Flushing
- Far Rockaway to Roche's Beach on private ROW from the LIRR, Beach 20th Street, New Haven Avenue/Brookhaven Avenue, and Beach 19th Street - might have been Jamaica and South Shore Railroad

"On November 10, 1919 the New York and Queens Trolley Company rearranged its lines, cutting the original Corona trolley route in half." (due to the IRT Corona Line) It may have been split at Woodside then, since the 1923 description on [1] takes it to Flushing. --NE2 17:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Some lines
- New York and Queens County Traction Company: Woodside Carhouse, Cemetery Route/Calvary Cemetery Line, College Point Line/Jackson Avenue Line/Flushing Line, Flushing-Jamaica Line/Flushing and Jamaica Line/Jamaica Line
- ??? Corona and North Beach Line, at least in 1925[2] - maybe it was sold to the BMT then - but that's not true; that was a Brooklyn Heights Railroad line
- Manhattan and Queens Traction Company: Queens Boulevard Line
- Steinway Lines: Vernon Boulevard Line (Astoria Line/Dutch Kills Line/Ravenswood Line/Ravenswood and Astoria Line/Steinway and Dutch Kills Line), Broadway Line (to Woodside), 31st Street Line, Steinway Street Line (Steinway Line), Corona Line/Long Island City, Elmhurst and Corona Line (opened June 1, 1895 to Flushing)
