But the quality and capacity of the Sydney Metro is the opposite of what you are implying. The frequencies the Metro is capable of, mean that capacity is actually great, and the quality is the same as any other modern Metro project around the world. The Sydney Metro is also going to cost less and provide more for the city of Sydney than SRL will do for Melbourne. I love the SRL, but $100 Billion is insane.

    At least the Raritan Bay Bridge is being built but damn do I really want those Jackson/Lakehurst lines. It'd just be cool to see some sort of NJCL expansion, not to mention the restoration of Camden & Amboy right of way for passenger use, but damn is it such a disappointment that they'd completely dodge Great Adventure - which is conveniently marked in red on the map. If there is a branch line that just follows 537 from Freehold Boro with some sort of express service connection, I bet that would provide an excellent service. If they find a way to connect the line to Philadelphia, I bet that would be even better for revenue. It would certainly make my life easier since I live on the NJCL and express trains stop at my station. I get why they missed it though, the extensions are using existing right of ways that need no repair (other than electrification)...

    If it's federally funded it might happen. NY and NJ don't reciprocate state income taxes...so NJ just sends more state income tax dollars to NY and foots the 'train bill' for it. NY is like, "Thanks for sending us even more talented people to tax...we didn't have to pay anything for them, you pay all the bills, and as an added bonus make those workers even more angry by taxing them again in your state." Unlike NJ & PA which still play nice and have a reciprocal tax agreement.

    @@dstevans NJ and NY are states that get hosed by the Feds, while taker states benefit. Although NJ and NY aren't exactly well-run either. My main concern was just how steep the fares are on NJT. Much of outer zone ridership hasn't recovered from the pre-Chris Christie years. When CC was governor, budget cuts resulted in fare hikes and service cuts circa 2010. The overall ridership however peaked off in about 2016. If anything, federal funding should be taken advantage of while it's there. Because by this point next year, with a change in Congress, it could all be gone. Many of these studies have already been conducted, including showing which are most feasible. Better get the funding before it goes away.

    Is there such a thing as a freight or passenger locomotive? They're just locomotives and will pull anything but obviously one's just for freight use wouldn't be able to power up the heating and lighting on a passenger train but they could pull it! Obviously a high speed passenger loco wouldn't be geared up for a heavy ballast train but it could pull light freight.

    Metra just announced a plan to convert all their old as shit diesel locomotives that don’t even meet Tier 1 EPA standards into battery powered locomotives. That way they can keep their EMDs instead of buying sleek brand new Tier 4 EPA standard locomotives currently used by Metrolink in LA all because Metra has an unhealthy love affair with their EMDs, many of which are like 50 years old already. Keep in mind Tier 1 EPA standards are the bare minimum. I mean I get that battery powered locomotives are better than continuing to run on diesel but I just wish they would electrify their entire system. They already have one line that’s electrified but they all need to be electrified
