Service cuts start Oct 13, but fare reduction not until November 1.I'd expect such tickets to have an expiration date. |

Looks like Murphy will be a one-term governor, or maybe things will go back to governors serving less than a full term. |

NJT was wreck waiting to happen long before Murphy.Crews laid off in 2010 never to return, more engineers quit, no contract for 5 years, recruitment classes laid off, and equipment damaged beyond repair from Sandy - all on Christy's watch. Murphy is now the governor, not a magician. |

"A lot of railroads did upgrades prior to abandonment."In many organizations, especially larger ones, one group is oblivious to what another is planning. I will never forget getting a solicitation for a Source credit card a week or two before CompuServe announced it was acquiring it and closing it. The RoW people may have no idea what the accountants and lawyers are planning. |

He has spent the last 10 months just cramming in PTC at full steam, he should've started 4 years ago and maybe this wouldn't have happened. |
