"...if the demand is there"Thats the key right there. But it should be taken on a case by case basis. I rode the Upper Hudson line for @30 years. All the money that was poured into that line resulted in thru the roof ridership increases. With the Genesis engines & the Shoreliner coaches replacing SPVs & tired 2nd hand steam heated coaches coupled with more thru trains and a +90% on time performance, there is no demand for 3d rail extention. Now on the Pt Jefferson line, if only the LIRR went for Genesis engines with Shoreliner coaches instead of the junk they run there now, maybe they too would not care about a 3d rail extention. |
