I think one thing that might work well is if the CMSL were to hand over operations to NJT, and NJT began a Cape May-Philadelphia and/or Cape May-Atlantic City commuter rail line, using equipment like that on the ACL. The trackage (and stations more or less) is there; it just needs a s*itload of work, but I think we can pull it off...Does anyone else remember the posters in Hoboken Terminal about ten or fifteen years ago regarding NJT's interest in Cape May Service? They must have been posted around the same time as the opening of the ACL. The catch phrase at the top of the poster read "May I Take A Train To Cape May? Yes You May!" Beneath that it described NJT's desire to operate service to Cape May. Obviously, this never panned out, but it sure would have been interesting if NJT did take over the service.
