Five MILES under the harbor to be exact. A direct routing via Brooklyn would be 8 miles and if built as an express over the BQE ROW would not need to make more than one downtown Brooklyn stop, but would be much more pheseable. It *could* ALSO handle freight, although that would require wavers, better equipment or both. ROAR |
