    That’s awesome. Seriously, aren’t there any boy scout or girl scout troops that could go clean up some of this trash near the tracks? There’s everything candy wrappers and soda bottles to old mattresses and baby strollers. Some parts of the lines going into NYC are just horrible to look at, yet nobody ever does anything about it.

    Great! Love it! But don’t you mean Harlem and New Haven Lines? (the Hudson Line, in the area around the Bronx/W’chester border, is going through Riverdale – definitely not your description).
