In my view, the heart of Sander's comments is noticing that un or underused ROW exists which can be made serviceable at far lower cost than miles of TBM work. I should point out that most of the CTA Orange Line to Midway is surplus mainline ROW. The ability to reclaim these routes at low land acquisition cost is important.My fave is the Bay Ridge to Hell Gate Br to the Bronx. As built in the 20's it was a 4 track route with passenger service, and I am most interested in linking Bklyn, Qns, and the Bronx because there are ever increasing reverse and outer to outer commutes which this could facillitate. |
