Makes me wonder if CFG changed course and is having a third party intermediary make the initial purchase to cut through red-tape of folks opposing CFG/seller jacking up the price, and then Atlas sells to CFG/Yankees in what would be a simple transaction???
nah thats by the kusziascko bridge not in sight. not the vibe of the area. last i was down there i think the overwhelming vibe comes from the LIE going into the tunnel. Very busy sounding.
I think they are used only for freight. There was an accident further down the line in Maspeth last summer.
All CFG would have to do is buy/lease the air-rights above the LIRR tracks and build above it. Cantilevering a building is child's play, and the LIRR/MTA entity gets a form of revenue they weren't otherwise ever going to realize.
Its a busy line serving north queens all the way to flushing, not to mention always rated the best in quality. I am sure they can run extra trains for gameday.
How much you wanna bet there'd be a game-day ferry with a drop off right there?
Also the two stops people would use are the first and second stops in Queens.Travel time from Grand Central would be negligible (subject to transfer time of course) and to Times Square minimal.
I could do this all day. By the way it's Calvary Cemetery and it's where they shot the cemetery scnee for the Godfather , plus plenty of other movies and TV shows:
One of the things people wanted in the survey was 7 line and ferry. This would hit the top two choices.
Someone said there's a rumor they're working with the Yankees and that's good enough for us.
They were rumored to be working with Yankees/NYCFC. Two sources have confirmed this. My source is VERY trustworthy. It could be a coincidence that they just so happened to have purchased the property or they could be acting as middle man.
