   They've know this for decades.  Unfortunately, grade separation projects are   
   extremely expensive and disruptive.  I don't know how the LIRR managed to do   
   them in the 1950s and 1960s or who paid for them.  Likewise with SIRT.    
   Perhaps back in the 1950s    
   there was less red tape and opposition to property acquisition and building   
   demolition than there is today.  Moses may have been involved and of course he   
   wouldn't tolerate any delay.
