You cannot get a passenger train beyond P-Burg.NJT has trackage rights up to P-Burg on the NS Lehigh Line where the CNJ has been severed in the Asbury area and that is all. From there, reactivate the abandoned LV bridge (NS uses the CNJ bridge), double track to Allentown, and then be prepared to pay track access fees to NS at market rate, which is about 4 or 5 times the incremental rate that Amtrak has statutory rights too. Also do remember that LANTA has absolutely no interest in any rail project. I don't know how you expect to run expresses on a 2 track RVL line. There are 2 semi-expresses in the PM rush as far as Plainfeild, and a skip-stop arrangement in the AM, but no capacity for thru-expresses. That would be like running a "P" train on the Jamaica el - it won't work. |
