How can QB local service reach 30tph without a new terminal, and without a change in the fumigation rules?The fumigation rules are an operational not physical constraint. Work rule changes can be established, within collective bargaining. These changes would address union concerns that led to the fumigation rule. It will require more operating personnel, but that would a lot less expensive than new construction. Here's an idea of what it would be like. Not sure where the station entrance would be. I lived in Kew Gardens Hills for 8 years and know the area quite well. Any construction that extends outside the existing confines of the yard will be met with fierce community opposition. The yard has problems with previous toxic waste disposal problems. There's another problem. You've effectively cut access to the yard. The two left tracks on the lead come from Continental. The two right tracks come from Van Wyck. There are crossovers, at grade, that would permit trains from Continental to reach the rightmost tracks. However, that would effectively block access to the yard, with locals coming in and departing at 30 tph each way. |
