Another problem with the Greenport line is that it is too slow. Trains only top out at 45mph west of Riverhead and 40mph on the North Fork despite the relative straightness of the tracks. The line badly needs to be upgraded at least to 65mph and should be electrified at least to Yaphank. They still use stick rail out on the North Fork, this might be the reason for the slow speeds. |
