"It would have provided rail service to East Elmhurst, an area served by many buses that feed into overcrowded lines. Getting these people onto the Astoria line instead of the QB/Flushing line would have been great. "

Judging by this map, Link here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=East+Elmhurst+,+Queens,+NY&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=12

You are right, but the La Guardia station would be the only stop in the neighborhood. We've discussed fantasy variants on Subchat that would cover more, but of course they exist only on Subchat (or the Subtalk archives etc.)

But I see your point. OK, cool. I agree with you.

"The projects Edwards! refered to are off the table, and have been the entire length of my life. I'm talking about any plan to expand rail service in the outerboroughs that was considered recently."

So the 63rd st. alignment with archer was considered and shot down, which would fit your definition. I see what you're saying.

"You're thinking just like these planners who refuse to work together."

No, the "planners" (if you can call George Haikalis a "planner") who refused to work together were the ones who couldn't get anything done. The PA got Airtrain done and then worked with MTA as the latter improved Howard Beach and Jamaica passenger facilities.

"What does the present Airtrain offer to the average commuter?"

Access to the airport from anywhere in the city or Long Island. Which is exactly what it is supposed to do.
