Subway Trains to Use Atlantic Ave Tracks In Brooklyn
Realty men in eastern Brooklyn back a plan by the Kauai Transit League to urge the Public Service Commission to negotiate with the Long Island Railroad and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. They seek a partnership to let IRT trains run over LIRR tracks to a point near Queens village to improve transit, arguing a cheaper solution than new construction while noting the Atlantic Avenue division would require major upgrades. The Equal Transit League urges immediate action as negotiations with the City and LIRR proceed, citing long‑standing plans for the Atlantic Avenue corridor and potential fares.
