"Correct. I don't think the MTA realized to what extent it would shift ridership along the three east end lines. They probably expected a little of it, but surely not what happened. Ronkonkoma was only built with a small island platform! (the current middle platform). WIthin about 3-4 years, they saw what had happened, and quickly added the two outer platforms, expanded the lots, etc. Later the multi level garage came, and FURTHER expansion of the lots. And even with all that, there are still cars parked all over the grass, along the woods outside the lot, and everywhere, it's utter mayhem at Ronkonkoma. "

Agreed.

Would straightening any of the ROW east of Huntington be necessary (ie to increase operating speed)?
