Glen street never closed, it's just got a stupid 2 car platform tucked in the most brain dead location possible.What they _should_ have done was terminate the OB line there and straighten out the track to make a 2 track terminal. There's only 3 stations after Glen Street - Glen Cove, litterally a 10 minute WALK to Glen Street, Locust Valley - no ridership, and Oyster Bay - pretty much no ridership either, since the service sucks so badly. Electrification was a no brainer, but I'm guessing the electric rates thanks to everyone's hard-on for closing Shoreham, make it a losing proposition financially. |
