TBH though, Main Streets lights work just fine. It’s Cross Street that needs to be fixed now. The lights there haven’t worked in two months, and whenever SA31 puts flares in the road the locals call the fire department saying the road is on fire!

Would they also need to reinstall signals on the Southern? I'd imagine trains could still come from the Coastline if they wanted, and Farmingdale would become some sort of 3-way intersection. I don't think the traffic would warrant it (unless MOM or a Winslow Junction reconnection happened) but is there some sort of safety regulation that would require it?

Thousands of ties across both lines need replacement, crossings need repairs, rails are battered and chipped in areas, etc.Ok, And I'm just saying the the people in charge know what the line needs.

Clear all vegetation between Farmingdale and Freehold, and clear Lakewood to Lakehurst, buy brand new ties and replace the destroyed ones, pour new ballast down, put new rail down, put up crossing lights, buy all new spikes and tie plates, fix bridges and bring the Southern Secondary up to Class 1,
For 7.4 million dollars?
They might be lucky if the 7.4 million covers Farmingdale to Freehold alone, and the prices for ties and such? No doubt inflation has brought that up. Even if it’s only $5 more per tie that adds up.
