For political reasons, building additional trackage in The Bronx is something that should be done after the IOS is in service in order to keep the initial cost of the project low and get trains rolling faster. CSX already has its own big plans for the route with the proposed Cross Harbor Tunnel that would limit the amount of service that IBX can provide over the line in the admittedly unlikely occurrence that the tunnel is built before IBX service starts.A fallback plan would be some sort of IBX to MN transfer station (which should include AirTrain to La Guardia. IBX could be the AirTran to LaGuardia, using the BQE and GCP ROWs to reach the airport from Woodside, but the Port Authority would probably demand a revenue share in exchange if not completely block it, and that would likely end any hope of ever extending the subway to LGA, which would be more ideal. |
