LIRR/Airtrain Solution Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction

OK, so as I see it, using the old Rockaway branch for NYCT service would be prohibitively costly to the state, and using it for LIRR service would be prohibitively costly for Rockaways riders.

So I will instead propose the following two pronged solution:

LIRR runs a Howard Beach Branch route making all stops HPA-HB. Airtrain service runs along the ROW 'express' from Howard Beach to Woodside, then on to LGA.

If NYCT ever gets around to building the 'super express' and all of that, the LIRR Branch is a placeholder, but more than that, it offers a service option for many neighborhoods, while also connecting JFK and LGA airports. If 'super express' never happens, well then at least something gets done on a short enough timescale that some of us might actually see it during our lifetimes.
