Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch

Posted by Brighton Private on Fri Jul 21 10:03:12 2006, in response to My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, posted by Transit Guy on Thu Jul 20 21:02:52 2006.

Many people had advocated this abandoned line be used as the rail connection to JFK, but the residents along the line made it clear they will not tolerate resumption of rail service on the ROW.

Resumption of any kind of service on the Rockaway Branch is as dead politically as can be. It's a tragedy for the city, a waste of a vitally needed resource, but it's so. You can write to the MTA, but you won't be telling them anything they haven't heard before. It's not that they're necessarily unresponsive, but on this particular issue, there is really nothing more to say.
