LIC is only lightly used as terminal, exclusively for LIRR's shorter non-EMU trains. I could see service continuing perhaps via Fresh Pond only, but that's all.HPA will be located very near to the new Sunnyside station, and it isn't in the best shape; it doesn't make much sense to have two stops located so close to one another, especially when Sunnyside affords more range of transfer opportunity (NYCT Flushing Line and LIRR trains to NYP). Some decades off, since MTA is already engaged with ESA and NJT with the Mass Transit Tunnel or whatever it's being called now, I would like to see MTA and NJT cooperate on a through-station in New York that runs a line from Hoboken to Downtown Brooklyn; that should probably be the next big commuter rail project involving a river tunnel. |
