Yes, and then there's underground LRT where cities have that.The sections of Kearny, Bloomfield and Glen Ridge that the former Greenwood Lake RR goes through are not exactly super-busy urban enclaves, to this day (there is the big bridge going over Broad Street in Bloomfield, though); not even the section of North Newark where there used to be an active NJT station on this line is all that busy for being part of a big city. Would have to be a big justification for grade crossing elimination. There's also the matter of where to put a western terminus; strangely enough, the now-electrified portion west of Bay Street station in Montclair has stations close enough that would be better suited for LRT operation (as well as still retain low platforms IIRC), but we do not have a "tram-train" standard save the one in Dallas and the LRT cars currently in use around the country seem to have MDBFs far shorter than FRA commuter rail vehicles. |
