Although...it does looks like New Jersey bought out Staten Island or something to that effect.Well, I stopped before adding through running with the Newark City Subway! -The line running across the Kill Van Kull would definitely have to be tunneled otherwise it wouldn't be able to connect at Elm Park..because it would be too high up lol.. I was thinking massive elevators... -The commuter line running via Brookyln...excellent idea! But I think it should terminate at Fulton St..to give an actual use to the Fulton St Transit Center building, which many here feel is useless right now. The glass egg would be well-used anyway: it would be the Downtown station for Staten Island and at least three counties of NJ. An extension to Midtown would only add even more ridership. Actually, you might have guessed that I wasn't really intending Grand Central to be a terminal, so the glass egg would be a major commuter rail station from both directions (whether the other direction should be MNCR or LIRR is an interesting issue). Of course this line fits quite nicely with the two obvious RER lines (across Penn station, and somehow connecting up Flatbush Avenue and Hoboken). Could even have an "I" system (cf the IRT's "H" system)! |
