1943 LIRR public relations ads |
|
|
Posted by ntrainride on Fri Nov 20 02:00:07 2009 Found in a 1943 Long Island Forum issue at the West Islip Library. Part of a public relations report called the White Report. When it was still PRR turf. Interesting proposed system electrification timetable, "Provided there is definite assurance of sufficient earnings, through adequate fares and relief from burdonsome property taxes."

Thanks for posting.Interesting to see that electrifying the Central between Bethpage and Babylon was considered higher priority than the Northport/Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma branches... CG |

Interesting to see that electrifying the Central between Bethpage and Babylon was considered higher priority than the Northport/Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma branches...What they were proposing was to go from west to east. |

They even intended to electrify the Manorville branchAs long as they got some relief from their Property Taxes... It's good to see that some things on Long Island haven't changed! |

I'm gonna see if I can find similar stuff. All the libraries out here have local area history collections. I do like running into these things serendipitously. |
