Posted by SMAZ on Mon Jul 24 01:03:54 2006, in response to Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Jul 23 20:43:27 2006. When people buy a house or condo along an existing el or embankment they are fully aware of the noise. The people who bought or built property along the Rock ROW after cessation of service did so with the so-far accurate assumption that service would never resume. Not only that, but they have some nice and rare wilderness in their backyards for their families and pets to play. This is not a good reason to never re-activate the line but a small concession like not running late night trains is not unfair, especially since the line's value to the greater system during late hours would be close to nil. Would you buy a house along the Rock at today's price if they announced that they would re-activate the line 24/7? As much as I favor mass transit, I wouldn't but I would definitely be more interested in one that's a few blocks away from the ROW then I would now. |
