"The MTA owned some strip of ROW into the airport which they never used for direct subway to circulator service via that line. I don't know if that dated still from the LIRR or if that was obtained after the transit system took over the Rockaway line, but either way, they owned a ROW into the airport which they never used. If they had extended the A train to the circulator and had the A terminate there somewhere along the free circulator, then we would not be having this conversation."Correct. It was a one track ROW. The MTA did not want to branch the A a second time after Lefferts/Rockaway because that would screw up service frequency to the Peninsula. The PA took the hint and, instead, brought AirTrain to Howard Beach. |
