So you're proposing a "no build" with respect to Gateway? Won't help Amtrak even if you forced NJT's Hoboken Division back into Hoboken in totum.Where's the "temporary station on the waterfront" supposed to be, eh? Exchange Place Terminal has been closed for almost 54 years and there's nothing left. Audrey Zapp's ghost stands guard over the CRRNJ terminal location (thanks to Jersey City politicians). NJT does have the last waterfront terminal, but it's useless to Amtrak unless a calamity shuts both tunnels, and Acela can't use the low platforms. Amtrak would lose a lot of business if they couldn't have through service to Boston these days never mind connecting service to other Amtrak trains, and there would by necessity be no Acela service on one half of the NEC. Trying to say that the ARC tunnels were supposed to be all-NJT, seriously?? They never were, not even with that last misguided proposal that was not able to access NYP. And nothing gets solved with the big return to the waterfront. |
