All except the Lehigh Valley line between Aldene and Hunter and the Delair Bridge connection (both CSAO).

The ridership isn't there and you'd be sinking even more money into a very non-profitable operation. This was a line built for political reasons and the results speak for themselves.

Plus you'd need buy in from CSX to do it.

It's really a shame that the RiverLINE is the only example of a north-south Jersey passenger rail corridor

NJT already owns the trackage
