Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Feb 12 10:05:20 2018, in response to Re: Lower Montauk Branch Passenger Rail Study (Final Report 2018) could cost over $2 Billion, posted by Joe V on Sat Feb 10 07:04:12 2018. I don't know if the ROW has room for three tracks, but that's all they need. They only need one track for bidirectional freight, and two for passeneger. However, if they are using FRA accepted rolling stock, they do only need two. There is freight on that line of course, but it is not so much that they couldn't run with the trains, and if I am not mistaken, at night, the passenger trains wouldn't run, so a lot of freight could run then. It's only between Fresh Pond Junction (where the Bushwick tracks leave), and Jamaica that the freight really runs. It's fairly minimal west of Fresh Pond junction (the site of the old Fresh Pond LIRR station). |
