Pre-1983, the lines that are now Metro North were a basket case. Metro North is in better shape probably because they had to almost start from scratch, so the infastructure has been rebuilt. The LIRR, while also through it's days of suffering, never was nearly as bad as the pre-1983 MN lines were.... Can you just imagine a company like COnrail, which took over all the bankrupt freight railroads, being forced to run a run down commuter operation? Penn Central was a basket case when it was turned over the Conrail.....and the lines were a basket case when the MTA took over to form Metro North. it's come a long way.... |
