Trains terminating at Jamaica must be fumigated. That's the major problem.Dwell time at Jamaica is already rather high, so we're not talking about significant change. I doubt Woodside would be used as a major transfer point, it's basically a local stop on the mainline with an adjacent stop for the Port Washington branch. How many diesels serve it right now? I'm only aware of one. The move would be to have more NYP/ESA trains that are EMUs bypass Jamaica, especially those trains running in slots adjacent or near to FBA trains. The layout of WOOD also suggests an across the platform transfer on the island platform between westbound ESA and NYP trains; eastbound there is obviously not the same concern. |
