And maybe with a big reduction in LIRR traffic some of the LIRR west side yard capacity could be used by NJT and therefore maybe one of the East River tubes at a time could be rebuilt. But of course, without Gateway, the time bomb threat continues. If the money for Gateway is somehow forthcoming, anyone have a notion of how long it would take to build the new tunnels?

For the uninitiated, this was the yard track between the Empire Main and the south most of the 6 tracks that merge into the Hudson River Tunnels. I do not recall that track being ever used for mid-day storage of NJT equipment, but it was frequently used for storage of maintenance of way equipment. Does anyone know what is going on? What is the purpose of all this?
