Two local Brooklyn papers have an update on Bob Diamond's failed trolley line in Brooklyn, and attempts to revive it as part of the Brooklyn waterfront park (which is a great idea, by the way).
Both cover the same basic facts, but the "juicy" part is the conflict between Bob Diamond and a former subordinate Arthur Melnick. Diamond is head of the Brooklyn Historic Railway Association (BHRA) with long standing plans to run a line from Red Hook into downtown Brooklyn. Arthur Melnick leads the Brooklyn City Streetcar Company, Inc (BCSC) and has proposed the park line, with parts overlapping BHRA's plan, esp. on Atlantic Ave and to Borough Hall. The two seem to dislike each other greatly, which is probably not good news for anyone wanting to see trolleys again in Brooklyn.
Bob Diamond's trolleys are at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he is behind in the rent.
I'd include the articles but I don't know of any website.
