Wouldn't it make more sense to have service to BUS (Bethlehem Union Station) as well as extend the Raritan Valley Line to Pburg and into PA to Bethlehem (yes, NJT runs to 30th St. Station so yes NJT trains could run in PA) to have both NYC and Philly service from Bethlehem?

Don't you get it? If rail service would be restored they would have to replace the tracks anyway. This actually makes it a lot easier to lay new tracks when the time comes.

So, no pics of the train. A couple freights went through both ways before the special, a regular fre...
