Aside from the Queensboro bridge's superstructure having been steadily degraded over the past two decades to keep it standing and now being entirely incapable of supporting the sort of live load a tram would represent, what does a tram-train have to do with the LIRR? Nobody in their right mind would try to move the sort of traffic ESA will cater to on a tram-train. The Karlsruhe model was an innovative approach, and it certainly could be applied elsewhere in NYC, but it's foolish to apply it as a one size fits all solution to every requirement for new infrastructure. |
