Just throwing this out there, but why cant the existing PATH tunnels be converted to handle NJT trains to Manhattan, and use the existing infrastructure , to find there way to NYP ?The PATH, formally Hudson and Manhatten RR TUBES under the Hudson are CAST IRON TUBES and there is no way to enlarge them to accomidate "heavy rail", PATH cars are only 51 feet long and about 9 feet wide compared to a typical NJT passenger car length of 85 feet and 10' 6" width (C-IV, C-V) .
