Are these new power cars going to be mixed in with the current trailers to form sets? Thus, eliminating all push pull operations for the bilevels? They will basically all become EMUs?

Option 2 looks to be the most aggressive, which is hopefully what they go with. Basically in 7-10 they will have replaced Terminal B, and the headhouse part of Terminal C with a new facility leaving the current Terminal C concourses which would be physically connected to the new large Terminal B. Th...
Options 2 and 3.
EWR Vison plan option # 1.
I wasn't able to save them from the Webex public event. And for whatever reason, the Port Authority hasn't posted them. Someone on Airliners.net had a couple of the slides posted. Basically what is going to happen is that they are going to build a massive headhouse over where the old Terminal A stil...
The slides I've seen from the EWR Vision plan public sessions shows that Terminal B and Terminal C are going to be replaced by a single large terminal.

I am really confused as to why we need an absolutely beautiful Penn Station now. We have a Moynihan station that has recently opened that services LIRR and Amtrak. It is a big, airy, attractive building although I would personally would've preferred a European style train hall. I would've loved to ...
I wonder what is happening with PATHs planned extension to the airport rail station. The Port Authority, citing reduced revenues due to COVID and slow return to office, has decided to kick it out of it's current ten-year capital plan and put it in the next ten-year capital plan. The current plan ru...
The Port Authority is going ahead with a new bus terminal to replace the existing facility. I think incorporating a new Madison Square Garden as part of the that project would be an ideal new location. The benefits would be that it would have direct access to all those commuter bus lines, servicing ...
Gateway tunnel project just received $7 Billion. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/06/nyregion/nyc-penn-station-tunnel-gateway.html It's time to start planning for what comes next, after the new tunnels are built and the old ones rehabbed. The area encompassing the MOM planned routes is the most obvio...
Madison Square Garden is old, regardless of the renovations they did in the public arena areas it's still old. Most MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA franchises have venues that are much younger than MSG. It's unthinkable that Garden management wants to just keep rehabbing a 60+ year old venue instead of buildi...
Dec 2022 issue of Trains came in email recently, and it has an article on Amtrak's issues and how they're trying to fix them. On the section of food (the article quotes current Amtrak President Roger Harris): That is great news they are going to split the Silver Service trains again, hopefully via ...
I have been following this project for what seems like an eternity, since George W. Bush was President. I remember visiting Tysons Corner in 2011 and watching the progress. It's amazing that it's taken this long, and now the day is finally here.
Congratulations, now you better use it.
