Let's not forget this, the MTA gets what is wants & if it wants to keep the LIC yard up & running the way it currently is, then it will be so. Case in point, when they put in the 3'd track on the harlem line of Metro-North between Mt Vernon West & Crestwood, the NIMBY's bitched & moaned about how the extra trains the track would introduce would disturb the acquired ambiance of their back yard expierence, & no way we would permit it.Well, guess what, the track is up & running & providing the service improvements it was designed for. Not being a LIRR guy & my facts could be shakey, I think there's being constructed a 3'd track between Mineola & New Hyde Park. Once again the NIMBY's whined like a speeding R-9 to no avail at the initial idea proposal So in the 23'd century when there is a Transporter.com message board, I'd bet that pesky LIC yard will still be there & most of the whiners will be relocated to more quieter "digs", Calvery Cemetary!! |
