Scranton and Hoboken inch slowly closer
Re-linking Hoboken and Scranton by rail (previous post) is getting more
favorable press. The
draft EIS is done. Interestingly, the link would be shared freight-passenger rail, which seems to make sense (although the two services don't always coexist happily on busy routes). Now the advocates have to (keep) making the case so they they get local and federal support.

TrackBacks
This ought not have the same problems with shared track that Amtrak has. If New Jersey Transit owns the track, freight will have to take second place to passenger trains rather than the other way around. The Long Island Railroad has always carried freight, and there's been little interference with passenger service.
