Re: Blog Post: IBX cannot be a tram

When first proposed 3 decades agoas Triboro RX, the idea included running acrossHell Gate for Bronxaccess skipping Manhattan. In the interim before covid, near in suburban employment/reverse commuting grew substantially. In order to use Hell Gate the fleet must be FRA compliant--thus it should be MN-CDOT compatible--more M-8s or the next order.
As to capacity, the New York Connecting was originally multi tracked and had passenger service a century ago.
Meanwhile, we now have a pussh for New Rochelle to Penn service.
One way or another these two should eitherhave a convenient transfer station (think QBP IRT-BMT) or through routing.
