So you see no benefit in an additional freight rail link either?I'm not sure I do. NJ to LI or NJ to Oak Point can use a well organized system of barges if the demand is there. For NJ to New England, freight is better off going via Selkirk anyway because the MNRR commuter rail lines have serious restrictions on freight because of the heavy passenger volume. If there's more demand for NJ to NE freight (which there ought to be), increase capacity on the existing lines for a fraction of the cost of a new bridge. |
