Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Jun 7 04:32:05 2009, in response to Re: NJT Multilevels, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Jun 6 11:35:05 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 tunnelNo, that's not really a good explanation. NJDOT could have sued for a share of control in NYP, long before Penn Central, or Amtrak or Conrail came into existence. NJDOT's been in the passenger rail service since its creation, funding the CNJ, E-L and even PRR commuter services; the state controlled commuter rail before its creation, too. (One could call them the original "pointless arrow", based on that logo of theirs.) Both Metro-North and LIRR started themselves as hodge-podges; this is why LIRR still has several terminals, all save one not in Manhattan, and why Metro-North is split between the MTA and ConnDOT. |
