Preservation groups fight Fort Washington Park railroad plan
Protest letters from the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society urge tunnels instead of an open cut for New York Central railroad expansion at Fort Washington Park. Eighteen signs warn that a ninety foot wide open cut would disfigure the park and destroy tulip tree groves. Mayors and local associations join in the opposition as civic societies mobilize for action.
