I'd rather see electrifying to Port Jeff than to Yaphank. Even if they can't shoe-horn all the Port Jeff trains into Manhattan until ESA opens, electric trains ought to be faster then the diesels with the hills and curves. It is just as much about trip time than about 1 seat ride.I am old enough to remember the huge Hunterspoint - Port Jeff jobs until half of their ridership was siphoned away to the Ronkonkoma line in the few years after electrification. It is probably more important to get rid of the north-south traffic off the local roads than from east of Ronkonkoma. |
