So I am hoping to spur some discussion about LIRR upgrades, particularly in Suffolk County that would help improve mobility and access. These ideas include track upgrades (double track, realignments, 3rd rail) as well as upgrades for capacity (signalling, new engines/rolling stock.)
My wish list includes refurbishing the c3's, a c-5 order that allows for full summer service, electrification and double track through Patchogue and possibly even farther. Additional diesel/dual-mode engines to make it happen Double tracking on the main line to Riverhead along with an additional station in North Shirley. Increased service east of Ronk as well as east of Speonk. The population is growing and could better served by more intra-island commuting options.
