What an incredible waste. From the map, there's room to add tracks and build a station on the 34th tunnel on the east side. Much easier.You're saying that instead of bringing trains into GCT, they should build a station on the East Side of Manhattan along the existing route to Penn Station? There are a lot of reasons why that won't work, including too much disruption of existing service during construction, too many delays in service once it would open up, and the fact that it adds no new capacity to the LIRR. Those are only 3 reasons. There are tons more. One thing though, according to the map, tracks extend south of GCT. Is that how it is already or are they building that as part of ESA? They do not exist today. That will be new construction. |
