Queens residents push for New York Connecting Railroad franchise
Property owners in Queens back the Pennsylvania Railroad seeking a city franchise for a line from Bay Ridge across Long Island to the East River at Astoria. The project would link freight and passenger traffic via tunnels under the East River, but Mayor McClellan’s stance blocks granting the franchise. Petitions argue the project would hurt local property interests by removing necessary street access and enabling a major urban rail structure.
