The thing that has always suprised me is that, despite material shortages, construction and completion of the LIRR Atlantic Avenue tunnel (actually it's a subway without stations) continued through the thick of the war and was completed in 1944. It may have been so that Atlantic Ave would become the major artery it now is. |
