Penn Station IS THE New York City transit hubShows how backwards-thinking you are, rocKKKparKKKnazi. Keep trying to stuff the contents of five waterfront terminals (six if you count LIC) into a station never designed to handle it, and today's quandary happens. That's why LIRR was desperate to build ESA—because they couldn't expand operations at NYP and because they didn't want to work with NJ to build the so-called "pipe dream" further downtown instead by joining the Hoboken Division with the Atlantic Branch (thanks to entrenched parochialism in NY's government). Nobody to blame but the city itself for the lack of rail bridges across the Hudson. It was the city that wanted to force all the railroads from NJ to "cooperate" on a single giant bridge from Hoboken into Manhattan instead of several bridges from where their main lines terminated at the waterfront. Most likely the city again that got in the way of stuff like the "giant bridge" idea (which would have joined the CRRNJ with the Atlantic Branch of the LIRR, look at that). |
