The double tracking from Ronkonkoma to Farmingdale is needed first for 2 reasons. First, as the Brookhaven Rail Terminal takes on more and more car loads, the freight traffic between that facility and queens will increase. In addition, the reverse commute east of the Rt 110 corridor is becoming more important to the Long Island economy. Neither can be improved without the 2nd track or without reducing peak flow traffic. Once the Ronkonkoma line traffic is boosted significantly, then the 3rd track to Hicksville will be an absolute necessity.
