Not to split hairs here, but technically speaking, the line wasn't "abandoned" but the service was simply" suspended" or "discontinued". One day trains ran, the next day, they didn't.The LIRR just shut off the juice & walked away from it. Rails, both running & 3d & wayside signals left to be re-claimed by nature. Not an ounce of material removed. As far as I know, the state still retains title to the right of way. But=abandoned= works for the masses, like e.g. If you want to see the Mets, take the #7 "subway" to Mets-Willets Point "subway' Sta. |
