As an attempt to make sense of my findings and to answer why Rosario Dawson seems to be denied a mixed-race subjectivity by mainstream U.S. audiences, I turn to the work of Angharad N. Valdivia (2004).
The Long Island Rail Road system is made up of eleven passenger branches. Three main trunk lines, the Main Line, Montauk Branch, and Atlantic Branch, spin off eight smaller branches.
Major stations include: 1  Pennsylvania Station, in Midtown Manhattan, is the busiest of the western terminals, serving almost 500 daily trains. It is reached via the Amtrak-owned East River Tunnels (the only LIRR-used trackage not owned by the LIRR) from the Main Line in Long Island City.
