"But then again, the press was pushing the notion that passenger rail was “dying” during that time too ."If they didn't think that the long distance passenger rail service was dying, they wouldn't have torn down & rebuilt Penn Sta (in the 60s) into a claustrophobic basement w/o any incentive or encouragement to attract more passengers. I doubt that the PRR was succumbing to media pressure that led them to destroy that "cathedral". PRR was strapped for cash & that was the bottom line & to hell with the clientele. |
