[not likely given what they have to cross]Amtrak manages to get their DMs across those same gaps. Push-pull is what prevents using one loco. |

The problem is NOT with the locomotive: It is with the Cab Car.AMTK runs that train LOCOMOTIVE FIRST in both directions. The Engineer can see where the gaps are and can coast across them. From the Cab Car, he cannot see where the gaps are in relation to his locomotive, and he runs the risk of stopping the locomotive on one of those gaps. ROAR |

So there *are* two tracks, and AMTK uses only ONE track. IIRC they did not upgrade the other track. Beyond that LION believes there is ROOM for at least one more track and maybe more depending on the particular location. Much of that line runs so close to the surface that it is a simple matter of breaking down a stone wall, installing a new track, and erecting a new wall. Only the park looses a little space (NIMBYS notwithstanding)ROAR |

If the goal is to get MNCR into Penn Station or thereabouts,which is cheaper: cutting whole new terminals out of bedrock,or buying some extra locomotives of a known design?Neither,since neither will get any Metro-North trains into NYP. Burrowing in bedrock is exactly what LIRR is doing to get trains into GCT, and essentially what ARC would've done with NJT. And frankly,if there were room,if it turns out that the ALP-45DPs work OK,it'd be a better thing to use those, since there wouldn't be any issues vis-à-vis push-pull operation (the wires don't have any gaps). This is from the Hudson Line,of course. So instead of buying a cheaper 3rd rail DM, they should buy the more expensive DP? How many of these things you wanna buy? At this expense, you might as well look into electrifying the west side line and operating EMUs. The only real practical way to do it from the New Haven side is to use ALP-44s with Shoreliners. Maybe, if they jointly operate it with NJT. Is NJT even using its ALP-44s anymore? If not... M8's, c'mon down!! And the long run. GCT still has 67 tracks for Metro-North. NYP has 21 tracks and is only eight blocks further south. There's no need for Metro-North to throw a wrench into the system. Everytime you regurgitate this, i'm going to point out the folly of your argument: while GCT is a massive terminal, the Park Ave viaduct doesn't have much additional room for more trains. Therefore, the best way to add service is to use the existing, under-utilized tracks that lead to NYP. |

Actually, when I went to the park that runs along side the Amtrak line in upper Manhattan, there's only two tracks and Amtrak uses both of them.Not to mention around the 125th Street Area, the Empire line runs on this EL like structure where it would be a PITA to add another track. |

They can run the East side service from the New Haven line with either M-6 or M-8 equipment. Remember, there used to be local service on that line many years ago!

This is where the rubber hits the road with the "thru-running" silliness. Everyone wants to arrive Manhattan between 730am and 9am, so if a Port Jeff train runs on to Poughkeepsie, it won't come back until Noon. It is of no use to at that point as there is not a slot issue off-peak. Ditto for the opposite direction. The Port Jeff trains are shuttles off-peak anyway. Nobody on the LIRR wants to replace M-7's with DM's. |

I solved the problem of slots at NYP, and added more MNRR service into NYC at the same time.2. How would pedestrian issues be any different than they are now? A train would discharge its peak passengers, pickup the off-peak riders headed in the opposite direction, and leave. I'm not talking about a 'Giants special'. I'm talking about a jointly operated through service where trains wouldn't stop any longer than trains at a station like Jamaica. Everyone always points out NYP is not a terminal, maybe they should stop operating it like one. |

Connecticut is operated under contract, Connecticut owns their share of lines equipment or about 66% plus 100 % of all branchline equipment.Difference with Meadowlands train is it brings people to NJ to spend money there.

You brought in reverse peak service and thru-run it. Who cares.Not stopping any longer than 3 minutes is a ridiculous fantasy. It can take 5 - 10 minutes to empty out a train and clear the platform, then marry the schedules of 2 different railroads with delays on one magnified onto the other, which they will never accept. You cannot run these railroads thru like it is a subway. |

The entire west of Hudson service is run by NJT. The only MNRR presence is accountants in 347 Madison. The "thru-running" concept does not exist. Trainloads do not turnover at Suffern, it is simply a way station across the state line. |

The benefit is not running a reverse peak train through. I already stated as much.Why would you need to empty out a through running train? A train coming from the NH would be scheduled so that it starts at a point in the east at a time where it would arrive at NYP at the same time a reverse peak train would platform currently. Passengers who want to disembark would get off. Passengers headed to NJ would get on. Yes, there's going to be some dwell time, but so what? Railroads have situations like that all the time. LIRR currently has trains through Jamaica that have high turnover. You build that into the schedule. It IS possible. It has been done before. The principle argument against through running MNRR/NJT seems to be that two governmental agencies are incapable of the kind of cooperation that occurs ALL the time between two freight RRs, or freight RRs and Amtrak all the time. |
