Also, another thing that has to be done before a real increase of service to Yaphank is the third mainline track, as well as furter double tracking the Ronkonkoma line. Expansion of electrification to Yaphank will add more passengers to the line, which is already overburdened. Yes, a lot of the new passengers at Yaphank and Medford will be people already using the line at Ronkonkoma, but it will no doubt further shift more riders away from the Port Jeff and Montauk branches too. Some of the people that currently avoid Ronkonkoma from points east of Port Jefferson might find a further east electrified station, Yaphank very attractive. |
