Octavianp94m Posted August 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2020 Can anybody imagine if the Metro North was extended to Downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caelestor Posted August 12, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2020 From a capacity perspective for the MTA as a whole, the Park Ave Line (125 St - 42 St GCT - 14 ST USQ - Fulton St - Downtown Brooklyn - Atlantic Ave / Barclays and onwards) is the best relief line that can be built for the entire Lexington Ave Line. It would also allow for the entire Atlantic Ave terminal plus half of GCT to be repurposed for other purposes. The question is, is this more important than building Gateway, lower SAS, or the Northern Blvd / 50 St crosstown line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted August 12, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 12, 2020 Quite frankly, I think the LIRR to Lower Manhattan would be a better investment than the MNRR.... Having the MNRR run down to Downtown Brooklyn would be quite the waste.... 4 hours ago, Caelestor said: The question is, is this more important than building Gateway, lower SAS, or the Northern Blvd / 50 St crosstown line?

B35 via Church Posted August 13, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 13, 2020 Too late for me to edit, but upon re-reading the thread/post here, matter fact, I'd rather have PATH running to Brooklyn before the MNRR coming here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted August 13, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Speaking off that, I found this fantasy MNRR LIRR. Edited August 13, 2020 by FamousNYLover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted September 21, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 21, 2020 Metro North to Brooklyn, no ma'am. Metro North to Hoboken or Staten Island, possibly better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol) line, I'm hard-wired to think MNRR...... Same goes for the Spring Valley (Pascack Valley) line - even though I'm always xferring to either of them at Secaucus Junction.... I must be in a minority when it comes to initially deeming those two branches as Metro North, I suppose..... side note: It will always bug me how there isn't much of anything around Secaucus Junction..... Godspeed to anyone that does any walking to/from there. I do like how the bus area/terminal/section is laid out though... Nice & spacious.... Would like to see it when it's at its busiest..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I learned the hard way a few years ago when transferring from the 190 and walking to the rail station- the use of "Junction" in the name is definitely misleading. More like Secaucus Wasteland IMO... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Secaucus is IIRC Meadowlands developments are heavily restricted since it turns out marshes are good for absorbing floods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
