New York City Area Commuter Rail: The 1950s to the 1970s. Eric Oszustowicz presented scenes from around the New York metro area, including the New Haven Railroad, the New York Central, the Central New Jersey Railroad, the .Erie Lackawanna Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad, Penn Central, and the Long Island Railroad, followed by the very beginnings of service under the modern transit agencies New Jersey Transit, Metro-North, ConnDoT, and Long Island Railroad. The show started in the 1960s with a photo of the first New Haven FL9 to enter Grand Central Terminal, and then with two Kodachrome photos and one non- Kodachrome photo of the New Haven 1909 vintage electric multiple unit (EMU) trains that ran from Grand Central to Danbury and Pittsfield. After the EMU trains were scrapped, the New Haven ran trains hauled by 1924- and 1929- vintage EP-2 locomotives (built by Baldwin with Westinghouse electrical equipment) to these places. The line to Danbury was de-electrified later, so we saw RDCs running to there (which eventually went to Amtrak). After this, we got to see Osgood-Bradley EMUs that were eventually replaced by the M2 railcars. These consisted of trais of motor cars and trailers (not permanently coupled). Some trains of the same type of coach were hauled by FL-9s. The New Haven ran trains into both Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, thus requiring ability to operate both under overhead wire (11,000 V @ 25 Hz AC) and third rail (600 V DC) power.

  • Changing Long Island (Online Exhibit)

    Changing Long Island (Online Exhibit)

    Changing Long Island There have been many factors that have changed the look and feel of Long Island over the course of time. The water that surrounds us has changed the physical landscape through erosion and severe weather events like hurricanes that created inlets. There are also changes that came about through modernization; the change from an agricultural society to a suburban culture, for instance. In addition, man-made structures and inventions have changed the look and feel of our island. Inventions like automobiles, the railroad, and the airplane have all impacted the landscape. Long Island, surrounded by water, had originally been inhabited by indigenous people and then New Englanders came by boat and settled in Suffolk County first. Long Island‘s flat landscape created a good venue for windmills and wind energy which allowed early settlers to grind corn and other grains. Where rivers and streams were located, watermills were also used. The first windmill on Long Island was built in Southold. See Appendix A to learn more about the Town of Southold. Montauk Point with windmill in an early photograph. See Appendix B to learn more about windmills. Watermills were common on Long Island, this one located in Oyster Bay. See Appendix C to learn more about watermills. Along the south shore of Long Island, in the towns of Islip and Brookhaven, boats were built to harvest bushels of shellfish. Other settlers found drift whales on the shores and soon realized that hunting whales could be profitable. The Hempstead Plains, located in the middle of Long Island was a large grassy common land that early Long Islanders used for grazing cattle and other livestock.

  • Community Involvement and the Reuse of Rail Rights-Of-Way Philip

    Community Involvement and the Reuse of Rail Rights-Of-Way Philip

    Community Involvement and the Reuse of Rail Rights-Of-Way A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning Columbia University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning By Philip Betheil May 2015 Abstract Given the scarcity of land in New York City, obtaining property for construction of parks, transit, schools or any other civic function is extremely costly, achieved either through expensive land acquisition or eminent domain. Abandoned rail rights-of-way (ROW) are one potential source of inexpensive land available to municipalities; because of their linear nature they are of particular significance for transportation reuse. This thesis examines how community involvement affects the reuse of rail rights-of-way in New York City through case studies of three rail rights-of-way: The Rockaway Beach Branch in Queens, Staten Island North Shore Line, and the Regional Plan Association’s proposed Triboro Rx alignment (in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx). It finds that while the context may vary, some generalizations can be made. Effective community involvement processes, coalition building, and political understanding are useful tools in presenting a right- of-way reuse proposal as necessary or fait accompli. However, community involvement is insufficient on its own as a tool for advancing grassroots proposals given the realpolitik nature of New York City infrastructure planning, especially for large-scale transit projects. 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Elliot Sclar, for his support and guidance throughout the research and writing process. A thank you is in order to my reader, Jonathan Martin, AICP, whose comments were extremely helpful in finishing the final draft, and whose high standards set the bar for this project.
