Even if Jamaica wasn't a choke point, you still have only 4 tracks to serve both NYP and GCT(the PW tracks are kind of moot since connecting to those at Woodside will completely screw capacity, not to mention it would set one of those tracks up for being the wrong direction. A 5th track? Well, your still funneling that into limited capacity at the east river. The only solution to that is building a new tunnel, but then why bother spending the money on a 5th approach track when you can just use the existing tracks on the lower montauk for approach?And I have my own idea for bypassing the Jamaica issue, but I'll hold back on that. |
