Imagine how much more stunted Jersey City would have been if HBLR had not builtWhat has that done for JC? Considering the money spent on it, next to nothing. It's still painfully slow north of Liberty State Park and it duplicates PATH to Hoboken. They want to spend close to $100 million per mile on the extension to Tenafly too; that's three times as much as it ought to cost to re-extend a DMU service from Hoboken to Nyack. And thanks to FRA rules, several areas that used to have rail freight service now can't have it anymore. Frankly, if Exchange Place Terminal had stayed open past 1967, at least the Metroliner could have gone there and "revitalized" (as they like to say) both the Exchange Place area and Wall Street. |
