Is this the actual order on the box assignment here?  TL 144 and E295 normally arrive at this box before E273 and L129. The area is Whitestone/Flushing. The name Browne  Park, should be Bowne Park, which is an actual park bordered by 155 St, 32nd Avenue,159 St., and 29th Avenue (Bayside Avenue)
 
Seeing as 274 would come blazing right down Murray Lane AND they were the ones that gave the 10-75 I'm pretty sure they got in first due.
And the area around Bowne Park is known as the Browne Park Neighborhood, part of the greater Flushing Area.
 
E 274 would definitely be first due on the box - my question was the order of the trucks  and the 2nd and  third due engines.  E 274 is housed on Murray Street between Barclay Avenue and 41st Avenue. Murray Lane only runs from 35th Avenue to 26th Avenue and a portion of it, if not all now, is one-way S/B so they wouldn't use Murray Lane.  Most chauffers would take Murray St to Northern Blvd make a left go two blocks to 150th St make a right and proceed to the box since 150th St is much wider. This was also the routing on the run cards back in the day.

With regard to the Browne Park area this is a misnomer on Google Maps and the Atlas Builder Map continues it etc. John Bowne emigrated from England to Boston in 1649 and settled in Flushing, Queens, when New York was under Dutch Rule. John Bowne became noted for his courageous defense of religious freedom back in 1662 and his family house on  Bowne Street in Flushing just south of Northern Blvd. became a museum in 1947.  Bowne Park is named after him as well as John Bowne High School located on Main St near Queens College.  Enough of the history!!

I just wanted to see if anyone had an actual rundown - perhaps Chief 84 can help!
 
Salvage trucks usually apply plastic over broken windows,trim out windows before putting plastic on, may cover holes in roof with plastic also.
