The Rockaway line was never officially abandoned originally. The line was never supposed to grow over like that, the line was put into 'temporary disuse", as originally, that's why all the signals, rails, third rail, and infastructure remained.Of course, time chose to put "temporarily disuse" into abandoned, but that is the reason all the rails remained. The subway was supposed to take over the whole line, but money to convert the whole stretch wasn't available at the time. |
