They were a private railroad, that got only some capital grants from DOT, and pulled off virtually no trains to add buses. They did have an operating budget and got little in anything from operating subsidies from the state. Alternative was continuing with 2 trains per day per branch. What they privately "wanted" doesn't really matter. As you said "couldn't officially abandon it". There was no intent on abandonment, except maybe for water cooler grumbling in Jamaica offices, which was inconsequential. |
