 Nobody does that I know of but Buffalo/NYP is Amtrak and not NJT. Its a whole
 different topic. >>


Steve,

In my eyes, the whole transit picture in NEPA realting to the NYC 
metropolitan area is germane to our thread. Perhaps, since I am looking at 
the big picture, that's why I called the lack of NYP service from Scranton 
myopic in the first place.

As for changing trains, I respect your role on the railroad, but if your seat 
is in the locomotive and you aren't doing the train-to-train commuter shuffle 
every night, you really can't judge what it is like.

I ahve all the respect in the world for the guys who pull the throttles and 
tamp the ROW, but when it comes to planning and customer service, your upper 
ups just don't get it.
