Re: LIRR+Park Avenue

Penn South can't be extended east of 6th Avenue due to the 6th Avenue subway express tracks. It is too shallow to go under it. You do realize that NJT and LIRR have peaks running in opposite direction. Reverse peak service cannot be balanced with peak.

What were you planning to do with LIRR's 1,000 MU cars and that not a single locomotive on NJT can run east of Harold ? They are not going to stop there at cut over for 2 minutes.

I don't know where you get 48 trains per hour. You have TWO tracks per direction under the East River and ONE under the Hudson River. Commuter rail is not a subway nor is NYPS is a subway station. It takes 5 - 10 minutes to clear a train and platform.
