Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Fri Nov 8 22:00:42 2019, in response to Conn. governor’s $21B transportation plan includes improvements to Metro-North Railroad, posted by TransitChuckG on Fri Nov 8 09:20:16 2019. Sounds like he started with a big ask @ 80 tolls and walked it back.As for the speed, they should be aiming for 100 rather than 110, so no new railcars are needed and the pricetag can be reduced. The M8 is limited to 100, and afaik no commuter rail in North America has faster speeds (NJT is 100). Going from 70 to 100 is a fantastic enough speed increase. |
