Union Tpke

Do you think it is better to go further into debt to save existing frequencies, or cut service? They are both awful options.

Any plans to replace your locos with GG1s?

In fact, some D trains used to go to Euclid as it was once inspected there.

How do you get the union on board with OPTO? Telling them many of them will be laid off as fewer service will need to be run?

Do they have steam trains there?

Montague's issue was with cabling toward the top. The racking is on the side.

Adding another branch is not what we need to be doing and limits capacity.

Did you seriously wait for an R160? In a pandemic?

All the studies that have looked at that extension have presumed that airport trains would run express on the Astoria Line.

As much as I love the Archer Avenue and 63rd Street Lines, they were mistakes to build. If the agency hadn't gone gung ho for expansion in the 1970s, they would have spent the money to keep the agency from falling apart. Instead of spending the last 40 years trying to achieve a state of good repair, the system could have been kept in a good state, and then expansion could have begun.

We are not getting federal funds until January at the earliest, and that is if Biden wins. The whole Capital Program is still not going to happen, and something needs to be cut. It should be SAS, which at its ridiculously high cost is not worth it.

The IND was saved with federal funds. We are not going to get federal funds so we have to use the funding to make sure that our system does not fall apart and become "rickety".

They are using the same racking system as in Canarsie.

An expansion project that costs billions should not be a priority when the agency is in the worst financial state it has ever been in.

That one is bad. Have they every pulled this one before?

This had been holding up 8th Avenue CBTC. Screen Shot 2020-07-19 at 10.07.54 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-19 at 10.08.11 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr

With the MTA in such a bad financial state, Phase 2 needs to be cancelled. The 2020-2024 capital program was already an unrealistic wishlist. I would much rather have 70 more stations be ADA-accessible than a short extension of the Second Avenue Stubway.
