There's also a bit of semantic games happening here.When he said "one rail tunnel" into NY, most probably read it as he meant it... one pair of tunnels, or one "route" into the city. Yes there are the PATH tunnels but those aren't for these commuter trains. And wouldn't it have significantly increased Amtrak's capacity as well? If you shift trains to the new station, even with increased NJT service, I'm sure Amtrak could fit more trains into Penn, and doubling their inter-city service probably wouldn't take as much, though I could be wrong. |
