As far as the tunnel under the Hudson being a "threat" I know it's not a threat. Even the NJT conductors, engineers on the trains I was on stated that it's much needed and they hope it will come on line soon to ease the bottle neck. That'll be the only reason they understand if that project comes before cutoff. Qutie understandable. now what is a threat is that the Meadowlands Station came beofre the Cutoff. That really angered quite a few of those guys seeign that cutoff and electrifcation projects were on the list long before the Meadowlands Station yet this got priority and now it's about half way completed. It makes very little sense esp now that the Devils will move to Newark once their stadium there is completed and so will the Nets but to Brooklyn. The only teams left would be the Jets and Giants and then you have the horse races and an occassional convention with some rock concerts or a WWE Wrestling Event.
According to them NJ Tax Payers got hookwinked on that one. The cutoff along with that electrification of Dover-PM Yard as well as the Boonton Line must be addressed and only then the M&E and Boonton Lines can move more efficiently and be prepared for the Cutoff Service.
Enough is enough with this "It only benifits PA residents garbage"! NJ residents will benifit as well with the less cars on the highway and more trains to take them in and out of the city without having to change at most one time and very little delays plus the environmental quality in NJ will vastly improve.
