Posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Feb 12 17:51:40 2018, in response to Re: LIRR CHARTER: Lower Montauk Branch Passenger Rail Study (Final Report 2018), posted by gp38/r42 chris on Mon Feb 12 17:30:39 2018. Bad examples. Rockaway wasn't abandoned, it was converted to subway operation. As for the remnant to Ozone Park. Without the longer connection to Rockaway, it became superfluous and was closed. Unlike Montauk, there was no need for through service anymore and there were no freight customers. Stations on through lines (like Hillside, Bellaire, Union Hall) were likely abandoned to speed up service, a consideration that was probably ignored in the case of the Montauk line.I think Occam's Razor applies here. |
