The Forty-second Street and Grand Street Ferry Railroad was a horse-drawn streetcar line in Manhattan, New York City, United States.
The NY&H charged that the new tracks would obstruct access between their line and the sidewalk, and claimed exclusive rights to lay track on Fourth Avenue.
The defendant argued that it had the same right as anyone else to any part of Fourth Avenue not in use by the NY&H.
That company was leased to the Interurban Street Railway on April 8, 1902.
A special interest group called "Vision42" has been established in the 21st Century to advocate the return of light rail to 42nd Street.
