Posted by Sir Ray on Sat Jul 21 15:36:17 2012, in response to Re: 65th St (Brooklyn) Rail Yard Reopens as City’s Freight Trains Rumble Into Wider Use, posted by r33/r36 mainline on Sat Jul 21 12:25:32 2012. No need for overhead wire, these new lightweight Stadler GTW DMU's that DCTA is getting will be able to run on the Bay Ridge branch - and this is the critical bit - concurrently with heavy freight trains. If the NJNY float operation traffic takes off as the PA & NYC plan (big IF), then temporal separation as found on the Riverline is a complete non-starter. Indeed, if (as planned) crush strength designs take over from the current tank-like mind-set, then NS could eventually return to the Riverline full time, as could other such operations (and this would be ideal for planned service like the NJ Northern Branch) |
