It is a major CSX freight route with single track bottlenecks with mountain tunnel clearance issues that cannot be solved very easily. It would also be difficult to route via Secaucus and into Penn Station.CSX track access fees would be prohibitively expensive. Amtrak could run on an incremental cost basis, assuming they paid a ransom for capital expansion, but everyone else must pay market cost, which would be 4 or 5 times as much. You'd have an easier time getting NJT trains on the Lehigh Line in western New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and there isn't a chance in hell of that happening. |
