Last but not least. New West is/was affordable given the shitty wages in this city.

Guess they are blocking access to those crossings so Trains won't have to whistle. Hmm..these buildings look better now.

Puchmayr, head of the city’s railway advisory committee, said the whistle cessation program is not cheap. The city put aside $3 million to fund the construction of barriers and other mechanical means to prevent uncontrolled intrusions onto the railways. Southern Railway, which owns the crossings in Queensborough and the West End, has contributed to the project

I guess we'll see what happens.
