I agree with you about Moynihan.I do NOT agree about thru-running. It appears to work only on paper. The last thing the LIRR needs is to have is operations tied to NJT, a schloky operation. What happens to LIRR service when a bridge opens on the NJCL or Amtrak got in their way ? LIRR operations are better, but very delicate and cannot handle schedule constraints from another carrier. They also change their schedules every 2 months for engineering work somewhere on the Island, often completely re-patterning off-peak service on a branch. Service planning would be impossible. During the peak, running all these new reverse-peak trains off the opposite railroad would be very expensive and and there is no commercial need for it. |
