Wow, 20 stops on a 34-mile route between Weehawken and West Haverstraw, not including Weehawken. That's an average speed of 23.72 mph. The ferry ride is scheduled for 14 minutes as well.I did mean "long dead to passenger service". The idea may have been floated to restore service at least part way, but so much of the facilities for passenger service were stripped out or taken over by non-railroad entities so long ago, that I'm not going to hold my breath that they'll be coming back in the near future No, things aren't that bad on the River Sub. The main thing standing in the way is CSX's insistence that NJT not share tracks and instead build parallel tracks for passenger trains only. There's enough room to do that, but that'd make things ridiculously inefficient. There's also NJT's original plans to connect this track to what is now the Meadowlands spur, so that trains could go via Secaucus Junction. |
