Where else would midday layups of diesel consists be (that travel to Hunters Point Avenue)?We were talking about when ESA opens and the need for HP Ave service will be at question. That being said, there is some stipulation in the charter for the Montauk Branch in Queens that states that passenger service must always use the line, and if that ceased, the line would revert back to the adjoining landowners. That dates to the 1800's. That is also why the quirky local service lasted as long as it did. Somehow they must have been able to find a loophole in the late 1990's that allowed them to abandon the local stations, but it is still a requirement to send that one train a day in each direction over the line as they do. That's another reason that train even runs. |
