Hard to see what could have saved the Beacon... if the Put had gotten third rail and slots at Grand Central it might still be around in some form. They might have had a better shot at retaining the freight customers if the track was maintained to passenger standards, and you could switch the line without outlawing, derailing, or both.Lately I've been amusing myself by trying to figure out what would have made the NYO+W viable, and the answer is nothing. None of it should have ever been built. And New York state had plenty of track that was done for once milk could be refrigerated. I'd love to know at what point voting for different politicians could have changed any of it, lol. If it's the taxes, the trucking companies would have been paying less of those too. |
