" the last hurdle is the East River, and possibly NYP itself."If New York is too cheap to build one lousy foot of clearance into their tunnels for future-proofing (to the height of a diesel locomotive, for example) they can be bypassed until/unless NYC figures out a way to fix their tunnels. The could bolt the rails into the tunnel floor + shave the tunnels, or have everyone get off and walk to the subway one stop prior. Or, New Yorkers could move to a less kleptocratic city, one which directs their efforts towards actual work rather than on running up the bill. Such a place would have built their stuff with an eye towards the future. |
