Lower Montauk is used, although not often.
It goes through the NY&A Fresh Pond Yard, which would be a rail-traffic problem if it were to be turned into a subway route.
The expense of converting to third rail and building stations would far outway any profits from revenue.
The NIMBY problem is always a factor to consider.
