DM's did nothing to reverse the exodus from the South Shore and Port Jeff. The consists are the same or smaller than they were in the 1990's. There has been intRA-branch shift from HPA and Jamaica trains to DM trains though.That's why this incessant whining by the RVRC for a token train is so stupid, and they don't listen. It is a political organization with representation from other boros and towns along the way out to High Bridge. Their dilemma is political, not market driven. Westfield and Cranford have penis envy for Summit. Their Vice Chair at one time was the mayor of Westfield. He said in public after ARC was killed that "there is a special place in hell for Christie". Public official should not speak like that in public. That is not Subchat. For the RVL, there is a linear fringe area that competes with the Gladstone Branch: places like Warren along the mountain ridge north or the RVL and south of I-78. |
