Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Jun 6 11:35:05 2009, in response to Re: NJT Multilevels, posted by Joe V on Sat Jun 6 07:24:08 2009. NJT is handicapped compared to the LIRR and Metro North. It doesn't have either the capacity or the control over it's NYC terminal the way the other two railroads have. This explains the obsession with THE tunnel. It's also a hodge-podge collection of many once seperate and competitive railroads, while Metro North and the LIRR had been unified entities for the better part of a century. NJT has also expanded in the last decade. HBLR, the RiverLINE, electrification of the Boonton line in Montclair, Midtown Direct, Secaucus, etc. Except for the Wassaic extension, Metro North is as it was in the 70's. CDOT is a joke, woefully late in procuring replacements for the M2/M4's and the expansion of SLE service to Hartford and Springfield, MASS is their 2nd Ave subway. |
