Posted by NIMBYkiller on Thu Jan 19 21:53:38 2006, in response to Re: Richmond Hill, posted by SMAZ on Thu Jan 19 08:08:17 2006. Are you actually suggesting that LIRR shift all it's operations to a tunnel from the lower montauk? Do you realize that the LIRR is already having a hard enough time funneling all those trains through 3 tunnels. I doubt building a 3 track tunnel is going to happen, and any less tracks will greatly reduce LIRRs capacity.And LIRR will never thru-run with NJT unless they are taken over by private firms. I think all of us here can agree that the likelyhood of two government railroads thrurunning is next to none. Here is my idea...several parts: 1. Have some tracks at LIC sunk and extended into a new 2 track tunnel to a new lower level of NYP. 2. New 2 track tunnel for NJT under the Hudson into the same new lower level of NYP. Both tunnels plus the new lower level will be high enough for double stacked freights. LIRR will shift as much of their operations as possible onto one of the tracks into the new lower level. The other track will be used for freights. The same goes for NJT. This allows Amtrak to have more space on the main level as well as the existing tunnels. At the same time, it gives MN a place to send it's NH trains at NYP b/c there will be space now on the main level at NYP. |
