ML/NJ: The NE Corridor line was always packed when I used to take it from Princeton to NYC. ANYTHING to minimize auto traffic in Manhattan is a good thing.

This tunnel, however, is woefully unecessary. The old Penn railroad tunnel is more than sufficient for current needs.

No! REALLY NO!

Trains used to be built by private business, that had or tried to have some sense of the return on the investment they were making. The politicians who build these railroads have a different sort of return on investment in mind.

That's interesting, I do not recall seeing you imput on the design studies, exactly what expertise do you have in this area?

I don't know if this project can be justified from an economic standpoint, but let's be honest here.

That segment of the Northeast Corridor Line has been running beyond its operational capacity for years -- basically since they instituted the Midtown Direct service in the mid-1990s.
