Posted by SMAZ on Mon Mar 10 02:41:49 2008, in response to Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by monorail on Sun Mar 9 22:09:34 2008. the NIMBYs would like a train that actually goes somewhere so I propose to connect the Lower Montauk Line to the southern East River railroad tunnel to NYP and thru-run to NJ. The line would be electrified and road crossings would be eliminated. LIC terminal (which would become a station) and the rest of the line west of the Dutch Kills would be put underground. The MTA could finance some of this project by selling the air rights above the current LIC terminal and yard. In addition I would also run trains along this line that would use the Montauk Cutoff to Sunnyside Station/Yard. Diesels could use this service. |
