But in 1998, the lawyers were somehow able to take the local service off through loophole I guess, so they could probably get away with the round trip diesel opassenger run they do on it if they somehow change the wording or something. The only reason that line DOES get that one round trip is because of that stipulation in the line's covenants.I don't see why they can't explain that it is still a vital freight line and even if passenger service ended, the line would still be used. I'm not sure of the exact legality of the situation, but maybe it could become something like the Bay Ridge Branch which is freight only NY&A. It really is semi-ridiculous to continue this lone train per day, especially if the LIRR goes completely electric. |
