Blinkerdoors Posted March 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2009 Are there any plans build a light rail between Newark and Paterson or are there tracks available with permission from NS to build along those routes? Yes? No?(NJT):eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaback9 Posted March 9, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2009 There were plans but I don't know where they stand right now, if you give me a few days I'll see what I can dig up. I think extending the light rail would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted March 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 9, 2009 I remember reading about some old plans but I don't remember where I saw that info. It would be nice to see an extension of NLR to Paterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted March 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 9, 2009 There are plans to extend the line to Paterson, as well as having this Passaic-Bergen Light Rail line that would connect Passaic Cty with Bergen Cty (and having 5 stops in Paterson proper) If the NLR is to be extended in any manner, the Elizabeth-Newark link is more likely to be done than from Newark to Paterson.

kaback9 Posted March 10, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 10, 2009 The Elizabeth extension is definitely more likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted March 10, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 10, 2009 PANYNJ and (NJT) have been wrangling over the details of the extension to EWR for the last year, they should have something to show for it (DEIS) within the year given the huge increase in :nec: ridership. Would be nice to get some of those bags going just to/from ewr and nwk on the light rail and allow more room for people on the main line trains. I believe the current idea involves broad st and market st, and an elevated potion to clear the interstate and the rails and connect it to the :nec: rail station there. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaback9 Posted March 10, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 10, 2009 The PANYNJ wants to extend the PATH trains to EWR if anything, the Elizabeth extension of the NLR would also have a stop at EWR as planned, but who knows either way they are looking for another form of transit to stop there.

Pablo M 201 Posted March 10, 2009 Share #9 Posted March 10, 2009 PATH to EWR died when they opened the RaiLINK station and started charging 5 bucks (ha, first I typed **** at first, shows how much I think it is a rip off) for AirTrain EWR. They want people to take the commuter rail then AirTrain to the airport terminals. PATH to EWR still could happen but alot of the motive to do it died with RaiLINK. NLR to Elizabeth via EWR would definately kill some service on the 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaback9 Posted March 10, 2009 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2009 The plan is to have PATH come from the North while the LR will come from the south, that is if the plan ever goes into effect.According to the NJARP, like I said will shall see what happens.

Doesn't the NJT have a plan for a NLR extension to Elizabeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaback9 Posted March 10, 2009 Share #12 Posted March 10, 2009 Doesn't the NJT have a plan for a NLR extension to Elizabeth? Yup, its just a matter of implementing it, but since funds are going to other things I would not hold my breath right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted March 12, 2009 Share #13 Posted March 12, 2009 I unno...... I think stuff would go forward sooner than later seeing as build now means not having to build it later. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted March 15, 2009 Share #15 Posted March 15, 2009 Great to see expansion on the Newark Light Rails, ! Personally, I prefer the line said, !

MTR Admiralty Posted March 17, 2009 Share #21 Posted March 17, 2009 I went on Google Maps and Westfield, NJ is near Union and Elizabeth... Just some miles southwest... I am not sure, but this thing would probably stop near the railway station at Westfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
