Like you would have to excavate further to lay up trains. If you want the same lay up capacity as 179 that's even more dinero. If you don't, your operating costs are higher because your switchmen have to go to a farther away place to lay up or put in trains vs. how it currently is at 179. That means more personell are needed since it takes longer for the man to do one move. Extend to 188, extend to Francis Lewis Blvd., extend to Springfield Blvd., extend to Nassau Co. Fantastic. Where does the money for expansion come from? Some of us deal with reality, some us deal with fantasy-the stuff that will never happen. |
