Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Apr 30 15:40:16 2009, in response to Tuscarora Almanac - April 29 - The Aldene Plan, posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Wed Apr 29 17:40:47 2009. Great information, Larry. Note that a longer trip between Raritan and JC took the same amount of time it takes today to go from Raritan to Newark. Aldene sucks. It's handicapped the RVL by putting it at the mercy of CSA (on the Lehigh Valley segment) and Amtrak (into and out of Newark). I know the CNJ was broke and desperately wanted to close the Jersey City terminal (and it's costly ferry service, which was necessitated by the lack of PATH service). I know people wanted that bridge to Bayonne removed. A connection to the DLW and the use of Hoboken for it's remaining minimal services would have sufficed. Since E-L gutted their own commuter/inter-city service the year before Aldene, capacity should not have been an issue. |
