It's starting to look as though those who disparaged the idea of Metro North to Penn Station New York may be right-- at least for now. First, now that ESA is running, the original four LIRR/Amtrak tunnels underneath the East River need to be closed one at a time for repairs related to Hurricane Sandy, before they crumble apart. That reduces capacity and will take years. More important, ESA hasn't proven to be nearly as popular or useful as was touted, which has forced the LIRR to reroute GCT trains back to Penn Station. That in turns reduces the number of slots potentially available for Metro North trains at Penn Station. Unless ESA becomes more popular somehow, it may be a while before we see any significant number of Metro North trains to Penn Station. |
