Posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Dec 25 21:46:46 2009, in response to Re: Future expansion wish list?, posted by trainsarefun on Fri Dec 25 21:28:57 2009. What is the alternate routing for freight, onto themain line via the Montauk cutoff?I'm talking about LIRRs capacity to serve Long Island. Even with NYP and ESA, you're not going to have enough capacity for full use of the future infrastructure of the LIRR in Nassau/Suffolk counties (3rd track mainline, 2nd track Ronkonkoma, etc). LIRR needs the Brooklyn line and it is definitely not running empty or anywhere near that. And don't post 2tph as if that's all the line runs all day. Both AM and PM rush hour you have trains coming as often as every 5 minutes, and the longest time between trains I can find is 25 minutes, and that's only once. The line is VERY important for the LIRR and losing it is not a possibility. Please get an idea of what you are talking about before posting lies (Brian need not comment) |
