One tunnel bore fails and is shut down. Now we have complete dependence on the other bore. Right now Amtrak is alternately closing one bore each weekend for necessary maintenance. So that then means each bore is shut down every two weeks. However Amtrak is able to stretch that to every 3 - 4 weeks during holidays and high traffic times.
Now with just one bore operational what happens when a necessary shut down to maintain the unreliable status happens? Now you have a shutdown of all traffic including Amtrak Thru NYP. Then what happens if the repairs are not completed by the Monday morning rush?
