I am not an anti-LIRR Nimby.I think that all of the rational people in this topic know that. No defense needed. I just wanted to publicly express my disagreement with the pejorative lobbed at you for looking at the big picture of actually encouraging LIRR to complete electrification on the branch. With electrification would come more frequent service and double tracking to PJ. Yes. The latter might lag quite a few years (look at the Main Line to KO), but the first would happen right away of course. Also by putting it there, what's the incentive to electrify further east to Smithown or PJ? Indeed - I think that's the biggest point, except that the branch really has to be totally electrified, to Port Jefferson. That would eliminate the yard problem and take care of Stony Brook simultaneously. |
