It's actually more like 17-18 miles, but think of the logistical challenge in terms of meeting car requirements: a perennial LIRR difficulty. Your suggestion is that 100% of Patchogue's service come in from Babylon and points west; it's a chancy proposition. Look at the non-existence of a holiday extra train to Ronkonkoma - the worry by LIRR is probably that they risk losing the trainset for its scheduled departure from FBA or NYP unless they basically waste the trainset for most of the peak period.The further out that operations extend, the more that yards are required, by the pure logistics of it. |
