New Haven Road Proposes Subway Route Through Manhattan
The New Haven Railroad signals interest in building a private subway along the east side of Manhattan to connect with Westchester Port Chester lines. Legal and financial hurdles loom, including rapid transit law amendments and possible Morgan affiliations with Interborough debt. A franchise route via old Rapid Transit act Section 32 could permit construction from New Jersey or nearby states into Manhattan and into the Bronx, with a Battery downtown terminus possible.
