Because they do not connect with the Hudson River tunnels. True AMTK could run from there north via the Gate, but they have little or no business going that way that does not originate further south.NJT and AMTK are married at the hip since they both trace their linage through PRR. NYP used to be LIRR and PRR with PRR handling some NH trains to points soused. When the station was designed, therefore, it was designed with a PRR concourse, and a smaller separate, less grandiose LIRR concourse. But then LIRR did not run cross country name trains that required grandiloquence lest a rider be tempted to employ the service of a different carrier. It is the LION'S opine that NYS should seize NYP under eminent domain and operate it themselfs. Get more commuters and shuttle traffic in, fewer long-distance runners. There should be at least one crack Chicago train leaving NYP around 1600 and arriving in Chitown by at least 0900 the next. ROAR |
