And I think that LIRR had no intention of running a service for NYC, certainly not at the service intervals that we see NYCT bring.I'm operating under the cokeheaded idea that the City of New York would subsidize the LIRR's operations. Given what happened to development in the Rockaways, I've suggested that the switch to a slow subway to the core made the area unattractive for development. that we'd be talking about 80 mph MAS As with all things it would certain depend on the station spacing. Mind you, given the operations characteristics of NYCTA over the Rockaway trackage, I'm still inclined to believe that LIRR at 65 mph is better than NYCTA at 45 mph. |
