What if.....the C&D (parent company of all their NJ roads) were waiting, along with Clayton Companies, for the President to sign the 1.2 Trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill (which he just has) to release the billions of dollars needed (11.6 billion as of today) to fund The Tunnel Project?
Although I'm sure any official groundbreaking is still a couple of years off, it would seem that this massive project has enough balls (and $$) beneath it to begin the long, slow process to completion.
Disclaimer: I have no inside info, but, with the grant awarded to the RR and the Bill signed, one can only have a new and positive outlook for the SOUS. And no need for Class 2 track; far too much money to justify that (unless it becomes part of MOM, which is another subject for another forum in the very distant future).
Just my .02,
