In prior discussions on this forum related to the Verrazano bridge, that in addition to the type of bridge built, there was the issue of angle of ascent. The other members explained the issue probably in a way better than I can.Basically the amount of distance the train tracks would have to rise (and lower) is beyond the capability of railroad trains - especially in relation to the Fourth Avenue subway line as it was designed and built long ago prior to the 1960's bridge. So even if one could place train tracks on the bridge, the trains could not "get" to those tracks. Mike |
