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

They could probably shorehorn in a small yard just west of Sayville.
Beyond Patchogue is just Bellport Mastic, and Speonk. Only Mastic has decent ridership. Electrifying beyond Patchogue to Speonk is too many miles for too few people. It will never happen.

Forget about Montauk. Trains can be jammed packed or mostly empty. Ridership is very volatile by day of week and time of year.

Port Jeff is the only one that makes sense, but there are NIMBY issues, like Kings Park, and LIRR are chicken shots when it comes to NIMBY's. Look at the design flaws they are going to build at Mineola. They would not declare eminent domain on an outhouse that's 100 years old.
