   Did New York Central ever consider running Putnam line trains directly   
   into GCT via Fordham Heights, or were there space considerations to   
   consider with Harlem and Hudson line trains as well as with NYNHHRR?   
      
   Also, was there ever any thought of truncating either the line itself or   
   service?   
      
   I am guessing, however, you are going to tell me that the Putnam was on   
   NYC's hit list well before 1958.
