Re: L line extension to New Jersey.

They you have the buffer strength disparity. 200K pounds for an A Divsision car, 400K pounds for a PATH car. What happens when the PATH car or some compromise car rams the IRT car ?

In this case, the "digging" is though one of the most expensive, complex, and high profile developments in the country, including though the foundations of 1000+ foot buildings.

I took the 7 from GCT at 5:30 on Friday.
The trains were so crowded that I waited for 2 Queens bound 7 trains to go by before I got on.
However, the platform still had room for circulation.

The limiting factor is not platform space, but the capacity of outbound trains, which would not be significantly impacted by a NJ connection.

If it's under the road, it's not under their foundations.

Either way, it's DOA.

Until new travel/work/home choice patterns evolve. The subway as a whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

if PATH builds new tunnels rather than connect to existing IRT tunnels, they can size them to the existing (and future) fleet

and provide another way to bring commuter-rail service to NYC instead of kinda-commuter-subway service

Dunno about PATH. I've always thought that the existing east and west terminals more or less match. Adding another terminal on either side would bend that.

if not PATH. why not NJTransit instead, with properly sized tunnels for their current & future fleet?

Only practical thing I can think of is articulated PATH-sized cars.

The 9th Street PATH station is already conveniently close to the main campus.
