According to what I have read in various places, the LIRR structure on the Rockaway Peninsula was built in anticipation of the city taking it over for subway use which may explain why it was built of concrete similar to the 9th St structure in Bkln instead of open steel like the Atlantic Av structure. I don’t know what prompted the LIRR to take that position but it may have been that the RR felt that it wasn’t getting sufficient ridership on that line and it wanted to divest itself of as much intra city operation as possible concentration mainly on services to Nassau and Suffolk. |
