I'm not sure but this article and others don't seem to mention any inbound service increase. Just more reliability for inbound traffic and possibility for more reverse peak service, neither of which require the third track on the main line.I don't think it's too bad of an idea if it's easier to do than the third track and the second track will be ready and right there when the third track is finally done and electrification extended to Yaphank or Riverhead. Sometimes, it's easier to start working at the end of the demand and deal with the increased mid-point demand later. Some of the commuter lines and HSLs in Japan were built in that order. I'd hate to see this project stalled just because the third main line track isn't there yet. If somehow, the funds for this are available before the third track, let it happen and it might kind of force the third track to become a necessity. |
