Sayville has space to build a new terminal station, and ridership drops considerably east of it. It's also the last station before the line merges into a single track. That's why I suggest electrification end there.So then how many hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent building the terminal and yard on that available space? How many miles of wire could be strung over the areas that "don't justify it" for the cost of that one terminal? Ditto for the terminal on the Greenport branch. By the time you've built these terminals, then extended it when development catches up with the electrification again you'll end up spending more than the cost of simply electrifying with high voltage AC catenary. |
