This isn't Chicago,and that is done on old pre-existing lines.What difference does it make that it's not Chicago? Is there some reason why Chicago can operate third rail infrastructure with grade crossings and NYC cannot? If it helps, LIRR does it. And Bushwick is a pre-existing line. If it was to be a viable line it would need frequent rapid transit style headways,not commuter railroad headways. I didn't say operate it with commuter rail headways. I said operate it with heavy rail vehicles and allow freight operations to continue on the line. I agree that it would likely need greater headways that commuter rail typically provides. At any rate, I don't think the Bushwick line is the line that should have passenger operations on it anyway. I would rather the Lower Montauk get connected to the subway and operated with freight and rapid transit service. |
