There were arguments over the Concourse line's routing; wasn't the (D) then.The plan was 4 track with possible eastward extension, to and along Burke Avenue. Then the NY,Westchester & Boston RR went belly up. There was where the problems hit. Limited money to either revive the line, build the Concourse line all the way to Burke, and connect with the abandoned railroad, have an additional extension shoot off at either Tremont or Fordham, use the money to immediately reiopen part of the abandoned railroad. That eventually is what happened, and the loss of funds cut the Concourse to 3 tracks, and the current terminals. |
