The LIRR offered the City the Whitestone line ROW before abandonment.They did not offer it at the time of the Dual Contracts or the extension to Flushing. They only offered it after they could not compete. They went to the trouble of electrifying it and offering direct Penn Sta service. It did not help. It was a very short line that served very few customers and very little room for expansion. The entire Port Washington Branch would have been worth grabbing. The LIRR wasn't offering that. |
