I agree that rail MUST come before bus improvements. Buses pollute!!What's needed is the reactivation of the West Shore (now called CSX River Line) for passenger service at least as far as Newburgh (via West Point), which has seen passenger service since service was abandoned in 1959. NY Central justified the elimination of the service by ending ferry service which ran from NYC to Weehawken, NJ terminal. this way they cut ridership, as there was no other way to get to the Weehawken terminal. This way they were able to justified the elimination of the passenger service. I have passenger timetables for sale for this line as well as many other lines including the long-gone Putnam Division, which ended passenger service on May 29, 1958. My eBay ID is nhrrlives. I will also have them at the next Urban Transit Club meeting on April 11. The April show will be Super-8 movies by Gary Grahl. As far as the Port Authority Bus Terminal is concerned, it is and always been an eyesore! |
