The work can be done without massive delays. Oh really, you're going to make holes in tunnels, connect tracks, etc. in already at-capacity tunnels without disrupting service? Sure. You're stance on the matter still baffles me. Capacity can be increased with permission to expand on Amtrak property for far less. Additionally, building a new terminal structure at NYP could increase Capacity for MNRR if MNRR used that new track space (Much as NJT wants to), and this could also be done for a fraction of the cost. Money does not grow on trees. If you need to add capacity, so so with the cheapest possible alternative and then use your savings to contribute toward other necessary projects. You still don't get it, the tunnels leading into Penn are already at capacity, so new tunnels will have to be built costing more than boring through an already existing tunnel at 63rd street! |
