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.Well that's convenient, because it'll be used by four times as many people as that vaporware DMU proposal (not that the DMU was ever going anywhere near Nyack outside of your fevered foamer dreams). So the LRV is and always was more cost effective than the DMU proposal. And one need look no further than Oregon's Westside Express blunder to see just how fundamentally unsound the DMU proposal always was.  And thanks to FRA rules, several areas that used to have rail freight service now can't have it anymore. And just what rules are these? Where are they written in 49CFR? Which section? |
