As it existed, the usefulness of the Polo Grounds Shuttle diminished with the departure of the NY Giants in 1957, however, the use by the NY Titans (now Jets) football team and the NY Mets in 1962 could possibly have mad e the line useful if it had been kept up a little longer. Even wit the demolition of the Polo Grounds, the line as part of a through service from Jerome to Lenox and 7 Av would have been extremely useful as an alternative for Jerome passengers who need west side service. It also would have provided an alternate means of routing in the event of service disruptions on either 7 Av or Lex since Woodlawn and Lenox trains could have been rerouted. |
