Another excellent presentation, giving an in-depth look at a very complex period when transit versus highway battles were at there most dangerous. Thank you.
Excellent presentation with great photos. One correction - the west side rapid alignment did not follow the New York Central "Big Four" right of way. It was NYC's lakefront line that went back in history to the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. The Big Four line was used by NYC passenger trains from Berea through Linndale as the western access to Cleveland Union Terminal.
