Posted by AlM on Sat Nov 22 02:08:52 2014, in response to Re: NY-NJ Cross Habor Freight Tunnel: November 2014 study release; Lots of people concern..., posted by italianstallion on Fri Nov 21 16:49:23 2014. Freight to and from Long Island, destined for customers across the Hudson River, must either complete the 48-hour (300-mile) trip via Fresh Pond Yard in Queens and the old New York Central Bridge in Selkirk, New York, or travel via NYNJR on a railcar float service between the Bay Ridge Branch (65th Street Yard) and Greenville Yard (see Figure 1-5).Absurdly unfair apples to oranges comparison. If the traffic volumes are high enough for the cost per train of a tunnel to be reasonable, then trains from NJ to LI will no longer need to make stops to get reassembled at Selkirk Yard an Fresh Pond Yard. There will be enough traffic to send complete trains express from NJ to Brookhaven, and that won't take 48 hours. That will take maybe 12 hours at most. |
