Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Apr 13 11:10:04 2009, in response to Re: Significant part of former LIRR Wading River Branch to become rail trail, posted by Jeff Rosen on Mon Apr 13 10:47:15 2009. Truthfully, the MTA's plans for the Port Jeff line were half baked. Anything short of electrifying all the way to Port Jeff itself would be useless. None of the most recently scrapped plans went all the way to Port Jeff. Anything short of that would just make the remaining diesel only stations ghost towns, and make an "artificially" busy station, ala Ronkonkoma, to whatever station electrification would have ended at. There were plans to end it at Smithtown, Kings Park, or Northport on several differing proposals, all falling short. |
