They had other serious fires before that. They simply decided this would be the last fire. The mistake made after the city rebuilt the line was turning control over to the TA. They simply should have handed the keys back to the LIRR, having solved the problem.LIRR was all to happy to accept a capital bailout from NYS to buy the 242 Pullman-Standard coaches, but turned their nose up at accepting city capital money to restore RBB service.It would have been cheaper, as the city would not have had to pay for the expense of upgrading the signal and 3rd rail power systems for rapid transit service. |
