Is there any O&D report more recent than 2012/2014? I could've sworn they came out with something around 2018.

Does anyone have a link to the engineering design for Mineola? Not just a track map but I mean something like a sat view overlayed with exactly where the 3rd track will be placed? I'm trying to determine how much space will be left between the new track and the "middle" track while passing...

That's why I was blown away by some of the numbers I was seeing, especially for the PM LIRR peaks originating at WSY.

A new or expanded station is definitely going to be needed if Atlanta's potential is to be realized, as well as a crew/maintenance/layover facility, but I think we're forgetting something VERY important. With Hartsfield-Jackson being such an important airport, I would argue that any service terminat...

I'm talking the bare minimum of separation scheduled in. If a train on track 1 at Jamaica doesn't have to cross any other tracks to access or depart Jamaica, and the train behind it is the same, what's the tightest they'll schedule those two together? One person has told me 3 minutes, I'm wondering ...

It's not just about traveling from a station Upstate to New York City, Yonkers, and Croton-Harmon. There might be people who are traveling from Albany west to other cities along the Water Level Route to travel on vacation to Niagara Falls, Ontario. You could have somebody traveling from Albany-Rens...

Holy hell can we please stop with the gripe fest? Either propose actionable solutions, info about why something can or can't be done, or butt out. Enough with the crying already.

I've been scouring the internet for an answer, but I can't find it, so I ask here: How long will it take a train to reach GCT? It's currently scheduled 10 minutes between Woodside and NYP. What will it be from Woodside to GCT?

My take on all this meshugaas: 10. NY HSR: Just #U(KING DO IT ALREADY! -What were studies showing travel time would be along the line? Here's the full Draft Environment Impact Statement for Empire Corridor HSR. The FRA web site mentions a Final EIS coming in 2019.... Pick your poison: Short run-dow...

My take on all this meshugaas: 4: Florida, what a mess. Yeah, and you didn't even mention the Miami Airport station fiasco. Let's sensibly consolidate all rail service in Miami (excluding Brightline) at the new intermodal facility at the airport! Amtrak says no. The station was built too short for ...

My take on all this meshugaas: 1: Expand on the existing NEC. -Improvements to the Keystone for speed. -New Haven-Springfield: string it up, at least to SPG, track improvements for speed and frequency, CT/MA funds more CTRail service, Amtrak drops most of the local stops, more through trains. -Direc...

What about the likely far more attainable goal (and probably least cost per mile in terms of construction and operation) of adding a branch to Winston-Salem? Which leg of the Piedmont sees higher ridership, the portion between Greensboro and Raleigh or the portion between Greensboro and Charlotte? I...

As a UDel alum, I can tell you that absolutely nobody is doing the 2 Septas and an NJT to get back to NY or Northern NJ. Also, as the person who runs a student transportation service for kids to go home on weekends and holidays, it's usually mommy and daddy's money being used to buy the tickets. MAR...

NJT on the north side of Penn is a horrible idea. The track layout at Penn sections things in a fairly efficient way. NJT on the north side of the station means crossing all of the LIRR tracks that access WSY in order to reach the North River Tubes.

ESAs full benefit can be realized without having to add capacity to NYP. In fact, it's solving the problem of lack of capacity at Penn by offering a new alternative (the place where they're shooting themselves in the foot is making Brooklyn a scoot but that's a discussion for another thread).
