Also double-tracking that line (it isn't double-tracked if I recall correctly) (which adds third-rail capacity in and of itself).Double-tracking to Ronkonkoma and extending third rail to the next couple of stations would help as well. Reduces the crowding at Ronkonkoma. Adding third rail to the Huntington line would help as well. Now, I said three or four miles, but on that branch the number might be different. I think you can get value out of extending the double track and electrifying, but it doesn't necessarily have to be all the way to Port Jefferson. |
