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

Correct. The ROW is owned by the City of New York. By definition, private property lines cannot extend into the existing ROW unless the City sold it the owners. (which it hasn't). If any yard, or other property is encroaching unto the ROW, it's illegal and the City can just go in and demolish it and charge te offending individual or business for the cost. (and any applicable fine) This is the case whether they will re-activate as rail or build public trails.
