NJT stops them for the change because they are paranoid, not because they can't handle it. Montreal AMT doesn't stop for the mode change afaik.That said, they could extend the wires to Jamaica, or build that Sunnyside station that was originally in the cards as part of ESA. The purpose of this in my mind is to help trains get in & out of Penn station with at most 5 minutes on the platform. Currently trains that loop around the yard need to be cleared of passengers, which increases dwell time. If there are more stops after, they don't need to care. Also there won't be as many deadhead to yard slots being used in the East river tunnels. |
