That is incorrect. The MTA DOES own the land the Rockaway line is on from Liberty Junction to Rockaways, as well as lines like the M line which is over ROW instead of street, such as the M train el from Onderdonk Ave (just north of Seneca station) to Metropolitan Ave.The Rockaway line (abandoned part) from Whitepot to Liberty junction is owned by the City of New York. Here's the tax record of ownership for the Rockaway Line South of Liberty Junction: Borough QN Tax Block 14147 Tax Lot 14 ZIP Code 11414 Address 102 STREET Owner Name CNY/NYCTA Ownership Type House No 347 Street MADISON AVE Apartment No City NEW YORK State NY ZIP Code 10017-3706 Last Updated 9999-12-31 Billee Name CNY/MTA The tax record for north of Liberty Junction, the abandoned part, is quite different: Borough QN Tax Block 9075 Tax Lot 12 ZIP Code 0 Address 97 AVENUE Owner Name DCAS Ownership Type C House No 1 Street CENTRE ST Apartment No RM 2000N City NEW YORK State NY ZIP Code 10007-1604 Last Updated 2008-08-19 Billee Name D C A S DCAS stands for Department of Citywide Administative Services.
