You *do* know the exact same Amtrak schedule shares two tracks with the full gamut of North-of-Croton service, right? You could divert *all* of the Poughkeepsie trains to Penn and throughput would not be an issue.Where to put them at the Penn end, yes I can see a problem there. Kick NJT out, make them use Hoboken and take over 1-4 :). And in another thread you say there aren't enough Amtrak trains on the hudson line to justify electrification... in your mind there is enough for a dedicated 2 track ROW for which commuter trains should not interfere, yet this is not enough for electrification?!?! |
