Tracks north of 57th certainly took a long time to materialize. There was a major fuss about which route the tracks would take to get from 6th Ave to the east side, and also a major fuss about which crosstown street they would use.

Original plans called for cut and cover through Central Park that would wipe out a lot of majestic old trees. As for the cross street, Rockefeller U was concerned about their seismograph (at 61st IIRC).
