Do Lehigh Valley residents want to go to Philadelphia or would they rather have rail service to NJ and NYC? Not sure if any study has been done about restoring service to Philly, but both NJ and PA have studied going to the other direction. http://media.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking-news_impact/oth...

Pardon the preschool drawing, yellow is current, blue is pipe dream. But a pretty nifty idea, none the less.... Was there ever a thought or plan to have this line extend or loop? Or was it always envisioned as this stub? I guess the real issue is how efficient is this line for the majority of other...

I hear Seattle has a slightly used TBM that might be available.

Or just take the one from East Side Access turn right and drive under the river. In one move you've got access to Grand Central and a new tunnel under the Hudson.

Simple.

The lesson is that no project of this size can survive if all parties -- New Jersey, New York State, New York City, the Port Authority and the Feds -- are not involved. ARC's fatal flaws were created when everyone but NJ dropped out. Then all it took was one person -- Governor Christie -- to shut it...

Well MLV EMU's may or may not ever happen, but the idea remains on NJT's long term budget so I wouldn't count that out.

The other potential answer could come when the Farley Post Office, located across 8th Avenue from the existing Penn Station, is converted to the future Moynihan station. That would double the width of the existing Penn Station and allow riders access to eight tracks to be used by Amtrak, NJ Transit...

From today's WSJ regarding improving Penn Station... http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304026804579411571756703010?mg=reno64-wsj" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I read this today, it really makes you realize how much money the city/state/Amtrak is leaving ...

I would leave Madison Square Garden just where it is and I would leave Penn Station more or less the way it is at present. Big bucks would be far better spent on the infrastructure; ie track, signals, power, wires, bridges, tunnels etc, you get the point. What's the sense of having a palace for a s...

At the risk of turning this very political and getting it locked: The GW bridge was built and is still maintained and operated by a Bi-State Agency that benefits both states and supports itself. The Port Authority is paid for by user fees and not general tax funds. The Port Authority has a mandate ...

LIRR42 it is not NJTransit's job, or purpose in life, to get as many people to NY as possible. It is a state owned and operated agency and answers to the citizens of the State of New Jersey. For every $100,000 job that NJT transports to New York they are also transporting NYS income tax to Albany. ...

I think once again we see that NJT has trouble with 'forecasting'. They wound up with 30k passengers where they were anticipating 15k. I'm not sure why they thought they would only get 15k when EVERY announcement about the game essentially said you had to take the train. I think that was the major ...

I'll add another update/correction. NJ Transit trains for sure go as high as track 14 because mine left from there last night. (It doesn't happen often but that's not the first time I've boarded there.)

The NJT concourse really isn't a good place to board Amtrak trains. Most of the time they stop towards more towards the center or even western end of the station. So if you board from the NJT area you'll wind up walking way down the platform. On the other hand the best way to avoid the Amtrak crowds...
