I would normally agree, but it's quite obvious given the way politics is replacing science for technical solutions that we really need to have a more direct route between NYC and it's suburbs to "America". One thing we learned upstate after the Bakken and Canadian crude coming through here to refineries along the coast is that oil trains get the ONLY priority. Everything else hits the sidings and rots until a slot for them opens up SOMEWHERE. :(Add to that that the ONLY route out of Selkirk which will get trains down to NYC are either the Hudson line, or send them east to Springfield and then down to New Haven and hope that the MTA will piss off commuters by slipping a freight or two in front of a local. Not happening either. The West Hudson route is crammed with trains. There really doesn't seem to be any other solution other than putting NYC's freight onto dirigibles and sadly the Empire State Building dirigible port has been closed down for many years now. :) Since I live up here in America, I really shouldn't worry myself about NYC's needs, but then again since I was born and raised down there, I'm still concerned for their future once the Saudis win their "gas war." Now that we're shutting down everything here because there's not enough profit for the Ferenghi, when things dry up and the Saudi's win, folks will totally flip when they see the prices oil will be going for once this gas war is done. :( |
