Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sat Dec 27 15:44:12 2014, in response to Re: NY-NJ Cross Harbor Freight Tunnel: November 2014 study release; Lots of people concern..., posted by SelkirkTMO on Sat Dec 27 15:27:33 2014. take your point on the bridge. As to ConJob, Jervis Langdon had submitted a consultant report to the Bankruptcy judge showing that 80% of the tonnage of PC ran on 20% of the routes. Conrail was created to obstruct that wholesale amputation, but post Staggers it happened anyway. It took another 2 decades to undo the mistake of PC and the C&O cowardice that first prevented NYC/C&O/B&O in the 60s and then let E-L go into Conrail instead of Chessie. One of the benefits of Erie's original wide guage is said to have been better clearances on its mainlines. |
