***"Why would they throw that money spent away,"***

Similar situation of wasting funds in the same time period by the
"Board of Transportation". Nobody was watching those days.

Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn Streetcar Line was rerailed with new rails
and the operators trained for PCCs, which never came to Flatbush
Avenue. Busified March or April, 1951. Cost of new rails & training
in 1948 dollars [$1M] thrown away. WHY?
