Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch

Actually Ron's proposal sounds very similar to the MBTA's southwest corridor orange line project. The line was previously an embankment and was rebuilt into an open cut some parts covered some parts not. There is a bike pedestrian trail and park along the entire length. IIRC the line is about 4.5 miles long and cost about 900 million dollars to construct (this was between 1979 and 1987).
