[This is based on the post I made in the "Proposed Co-op City Station? " thread on the Metro-North station.]
My question is this: When officials were looking at the NYW&B (and the NYNH&H ROW it used until closure) to create what is now the Dyre Ave. line, why did they only choose the stretch between Dyre and 180th Street, instead of say going down towards Hunt's Point/Casanova/Port Morris, or even going all the way down to Harlem River terminus? Finances? Planning? Seems odd that they'd let usable ROW go to waste.
