satyadasa Posted September 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2009 Greetings to all, Here's a question regarding a transit dream of mine. I don't know a whole lot about rail infrastructure, but I figure a lot of you do. Would it be feasible at some point in the future for New Jersey Transit to construct a station in what is now the tunnel between Secaucus Junction and New York Penn Station? I'm picturing one that would stop at Bergenline Avenue in Union City. Has anyone proposed this before? I met Metsfan once on a Trenton-bound train and he told me someone had once discussed it with him. Thanks! Ruby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaback9 Posted September 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2009 No, Amtrak owns the line and the last thing they want is a train stopping in the tunnels to pick up and discharge passengers. Could it be done maybe but its never going to happen. Also on weekends one tunnel is closed for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted September 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2009 Yea, agree with (, they all ready have enough problems with the tunnels, adding a station would be.... not a real good idea. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted September 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 23, 2009 I'm going to say no. This a bad idea. at least my Bronx extension was a good idea but no everybody has to get smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted September 24, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2009 Sadly the time of those kind of ideas is passed, all we can do now is rebuid and recover as much of what we lost after ww2. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satyadasa Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 26, 2009 That's too bad. Maybe some real NYC rail connections for the dense part of northern Hudson County can happen someday in some way. Different time, different economy, different line.

metsfan Posted September 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 27, 2009 It's more practical to have a 10 car PATH train people can ride vs another stop in an odd place. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted September 27, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 27, 2009 Is there anything new on extending HBLR beyond Tonnele Avenue in North Bergen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
