The real problem is that, while I completely agree it SHOULD be a subway route, the biggest problem (NIMBY's aside) is that the line is NEEDED for freight. It may not have good passenger service, but it does move a lot of freight ("a lot" by Long Island standards). Just about 100% of Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau, and Suffolk's freight traverses this line. To give it over to the subway, it would have to be widened to three tracks (two for subway, and one bidirectional one for frieght with a few sidings), as there is no way the freight can be thrown off the line, it's needed as a freight line.
