RE: (erielack) Fwd: [NSlehighline] Re: An amazing bit of information about NJ rail system
Steve,
They're looking at Phillipsburg to Morristown, suggesting that the Morristown & Erie is the eastern destination. I'm wondering if they're looking for some sort of double-stack (or other type of) terminal operation in the burbs on the M&E. This has been talked about in concept before...bringing the freight into Morris County rather than shipping it to the docks area and then having to truck it back out again. I take it that the idea of going down the Morristown Line to Summit to the Rahway Valley has been dropped. I agree with you about NJT. But the logistics under catenary and low bridges are terribly daunting alone such that even if NJT wanted to cooperate they couldn't. Big bucks will be needed. Sooner or later something's got to give if the existing railroads are reaching capacity.

Listers,
Found this document interesting......
List content, the following discusses the possibility of using the Ex-EL
Washington Secondary for freight by 2030 after page 107.....

IMHO, I still think it would be a long shot with NJT running the show east
of Hackettstown, but its good reading nonetheless!!

I am not really sure why this report was made, since I am relatively
certain that the state will not be stepping in with any cash for the railroads
to expand their main lines. I am sure NS and CSX know very well about the
capacity issues facing them in the future, which is one reason why CSX
recently announced capacity improvements on the River Line. When these train
numbers were put together, they seemed to have not known about, or forgotten to
include any oil trains moving to or through the region, so that might speed
up the capacity issues much earlier than 2020.
Three cheers for the Washington Secondary though. The state seems to love
that route, its talked about constantly through the entire report. If the
cash strapped state ever gets a windfall, maybe they'll be running at 40mph
up there.
