When NYP was built it was LIRR and not PRR that held the rights to build tunnels under the East River. That is why PRR *bought* the LIRR: To have access to those rights. Worked out for LIRR too, because rights or not they had not the resources to build tunnels.In those days it was simple: If you worked on the west side you bought a home on Long Island. If you worked on the east side you bought a home in Westchester. If you worked downtown, you'd change to the IRT from NYP, GCT or Brooklyn. ROAR |
