Posted by trainsarefun on Mon Jul 12 13:00:37 2010, in response to Re: NJT to waste more dough on 10 more ALP-45DPs and 100 more Multilevel coaches, posted by WillD on Sun Jul 11 23:39:01 2010. At the rate they're going NJT will spend upwards of 10 billion dollars on rolling stock alone by 2020. We'll have more shiny new trains than any other system's total fleet, and absolutely nowhere to run them, in Manhattan, New Jersey or elsewhere.I don't follow - THE project moves forward, no? Granted, I have my disagreement with THE project, especially in terms of its alignment, but at this point, it's too late to pull the plug (condemnations have already started), and something is better than nothing. allowing existing urban core services to atrophy under the anemic pace of their push pull trainsets. To what extent does NJT (commuter) rail serve urban cores, except incidentally, though? It's almost exclusively a suburban, sometimes exurban, occasionally even rural, service. Fifteen years from now Bergen County will still be a basketcase to get around during rush hour Not surprising, if you consider that the spirit of the late Mr. Warrington is now back at NJT. |
