Posted by Concourse Express on Sun Nov 9 01:23:04 2014, in response to Wild Idea to Link Laguardia to New South Bronx Rail Hub, posted by italianstallion on Sat Nov 8 23:46:52 2014. The abandoned rail line appears to be the Port Morris freight branch which, from the Oak Point CSX yard, had a single track connection which curved west near 142nd Street under the Amtrak/freight ROW, then curved north under St. Mary's Park, ran nearly parallel to Brook Ave, and then connected with the MNR Harlem Line north of Melrose station.From what I've read, this branch is one possible alignment for the Triboro RX, providing service to Yankee Stadium (some new ROW construction would be required, especially now that a new building near Brook Ave and 156 St was built over the ROW; the latest RX proposal calls for a Hunts Point terminal (transfer point to future MNR East Bronx branch), but I'm not sure if the Port Morris branch alignment has been ruled out...
