(re: “Pressure on CSX to keep its word,” Oct. 25)

Charles Schumer and others rightly emphasize the benefit of recasting the old railway corridor running from West 230th Street to Van Cortlandt Park for public use, but do not mention — nor does your own report — that CSX gave away the High Line to the city for $1.

Given the subsequent real estate, business and art development that gift spawned, perhaps CSX is seeking some recompense for an ill-considered transaction.
