The engineering plans of 10 years ago stated extending west NYPS SOUTH is impossible. To maintain it's interoperability with all 4 Hudson River tunnels, the tracks would have to descend a 3% grade to get past 6th Avenue.There is a NEC FUTURES plan to build a lower level to NYPS South. You can seem that to be a fantasy. Even if it were to happen, it would be an HSR, not LIRR, project, and would go straight out to Queens. The ESA tunnels cannot clear anything but a flat top 3rd rail MU. No roof humps, vents, or pantographs. It is pointless to consider connecting NYPS South to the ESA terminal. |
