Some people in the CR on the Southern Secondary thread said it would be best to create a new topic on this
Recently, D&D, a subsidiary of C&D, was granted a few million dollars in grant money for a "Freehold & Southern Connection + Upgrade" with the potential for more money, as it included the phrase "Phase 1"

Since this involves (currently) two different lines and a company that does not have a thread right now, I think it would be good for a new discussion thread.
1. How long until we see something beyond grant reports?
2. How long would it take them to reconnect Freehold and Farmingdale?
3. Does this mean we will see more, bigger trains on both lines?
4. Will Freehold and Southern runs be combined into one train?
5. What does this mean for Red Bank-Farmingdale? Will it be railbanked until something with MOM changes?
6. Will Extech and Brick Recycling start receiving cars now that they don't have to go over NJT tracks?
7. Could this affect anything to do with the CMSL operation down in Lakehurst/Woodmansie?
8. Could we see a potential TRIT revival?
