Brighton Local Posted January 2, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2008 Wow, you got a lot of maintenance on your routes for this weekend. However, I have some service changes of my own. Because of electrical work, the & SUBWAY Trains will be the only routes operating, every 20 minutes. The elevated and Trains will be suspended.

Most riders perfer to squish themselves onto the instead of waiting for a less crowded I was wondering if you can give us trackage rights so we can get up to the Summit spur. We have a few containers and boxcars that we need to get up there. Its a high priority move that must have done by this weekeend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSAO is the contractor for the Kenilworth Line, so you're clear to Summit. A bus can be sent for the 40-50 riders. As for Summit, that's (NJT)'s ROW. NJTA has trackage rights over (NJT). Also, you have several low clearances on (NJT) once you get to Summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, cutting the is a proposal at the moment. The is severly overcrowded and it's only getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted January 2, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 2, 2008 Is there extra service on NLR between Broad Street and NWK Penn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S. Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted January 2, 2008 Is there extra service on NLR between Broad Street and NWK Penn? (NJT) won't provide it, they claim they're not responsible for moving NJTA's customers when NJTA breaks down. An NJTA-:nec: transfer via SEC/NLR is the same fare as a transfer at Hoboken and (NJT) is not too happy about NJTA's refusal to follow the "Secaucus Extortion". NJTA never wanted to stop at SEC anyway, or MSU for that matter. They do it as a courtesy to their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He derailed on the Kenilworth Line not (NJT). NJTA's Chatham garage is responsible for substitute bus service for the Kenilworth Line. Anyway, NJTA DOB has already done the MTA BUS in NJ.

Ken S. Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share #17 Posted January 4, 2008 trains will make additional stops at Convent Station and Chatham. trains traveling to Penn Station will make all stops between Summit and Penn Station. These changes are being made due to overcrowding conditions and reduced headways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first pic posted clearly shows notebooks and other junk behind the R17. I doubt any adult would take this seriously. Plus I doubt that (NJT) would be able to buy much less use Redbirds as MOW equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
