Re: A new topic for discussion, electrification to Port Jeff and Patchague

They will never electrify to Greenport, Montauk, and Oyster Bay. They may do Port Jeff, but would have to be forced to kicking and screaming.

They are also perfectly capable of shutting down electric branches too. It is not their savior. West Hempstead branch lost weekend service in 2010 for a few years. 6 car and 3 person train operation minimums are bigger threats to service than lack of 3rd rail or catenary. They didnt get high level plaforms until 1973. Everyone else got them, including East Williston, in 1968. Abandonment was definitely on their agenda.
