Didn't even send a photographer.. First station since 1971?When did Ball Park open? Not in 1971.. I went to the new Arthur kill station on day one. No hoopla like SAS. No free T shirts, baseball caps, maps etc. It was like just another day on SIR. Passing the Nassau station without stopping was weird. Bill Newkirk |

They want to erase memories of a station they opened and abandoned so quickly...if asked, they'd probably say that Arthur Kill is the first extant station opened since 1971. But you're right- Ball Park opened and closed within 10 years, I think. With all the development taking place in that area, they should not only reopen Ball Park, but also go one stop further west... |

I went over to take a look yesterday. Very nice. But I also noticed that Nassau and Atlantic weren't barricaded or secured in any way. That strikes me as begging for trouble- if some kids enter and get hurt or killed, there'd be a massive lawsuit. There's also the risk of someone starting a fire, like happened at one of the Myrtle Ave El stations, in 1970, after the line was abandoned. |
