Here’s a pure hypothetical question. If the Metropolitan Transit authority was able to buy the long Island railroad, could they sell it. I know that it is no longer a private company and has no shares and whatnot. I only put this out to ponder. Could there be any situation where the state would want or have to sell there railroad properties on the island. Or a kind of total liquidation of the whole MTA. Im not trying to bash the MTA here, I only would like other opinions. I know at least some of us would like to see the LIRR under private management.
