Restoring the Lower Montauk just to Long Island City only would not make the most sense, as others have said. But if they also restored the Montauk Cutoff, they could use that and the Sunnyside Loop to connect Lower Montauk Branch trains to Sunnyside/Queens Plaza, Hunterspoint Avenue, and NY-Penn Station.That would make the line much more usable. Comparing the use of the line to anything we've seen in the last 50 or so years isn't really an appropriate comparison. When there's a single digit number of trains per day going to a disconnected terminal of course nobody is going to ride it. But if service is halfway frequent all day and the trains go to proper terminals with connections, I think it's an entirely different story... |
