I'm not treating you like an idiot at all. Of course I don't have exact proof (which we rarely see here anyway), because the information isn't public. But I think most of us arguing against your points are providing reasonable enough explanations to you. Just go by the tunnels during a peak hour and watch what goes on there. There are a ton of trains going in and out. And even if they weren't at capacity...it still requires you to add to the Amtrak-owned Penn Station, which Amtrak wouldn't want to do as it does not benefit them, and would create delays in the current tunnels due to digging work, switch work, power work, signal work, etc. Quite simply, putting up an adjacent station or adding tracks without new tunnels creates problems in dealing with Amtrak....and these are real problems, despite them being somewhat bureaucratic in nature. |
