Looks like he has a Chase bank back home he could have opened an account with. I hope he gets he money back with interest.

In the redeem page, they are still listed in the coupons section with 5 passes for 5,000 points.

I have been meaning to do it myself. If you are here on the weekend, take the train to the Danbury Railway Museum in Danbury, CT and you could ride on their equipment.

I never heard PANYNJ included in funding talks for Gateway so that's news to me. Regardless, this is the agency that spent billions of dollars for WTC and are willing to spend more for their PATH Newark extension. I think funding is the last concern they have.

Well, there is already the Brookhaven Rail Terminal built recently in Suffolk county that handles transloading. However, the main reason for the lack of rail use in the first place is that detour they would have to make in upstate NY. So we'd just mire ourselves in a chicken or the egg situation...

Unfortunately for you, I cannot seem to find any sources stating such sentiment.

The problem I have with the Jackson Heights and 61St Routing is, it pretty much terminates over the BQE on Roosevelt Avenue and there is simply no room to extend it west unless they are serious about building over the 7 train which frankly would be a heavier burden than what people at Astoria...

Well, it certainly would not be much different to the charge trucks have to pay at the toll. I would imagine the railroads would just do the same when charging their customers. I am not sure what your issue is. The whole point is to change where trucks are used which is to radiate from the city...

I don't know what the stance are from the freight railroads so I won't comment about it other than that I would assume they want to shift truck shipments onto their railroad into NYC. It is intriguing to read this idea has been around since the 1890's and has been bobbing in and out of the...

The only thing remotely good possibly coming out of this is the potential connection of the JFK AirTrain. I have used the Q70 from Jackson Heights and it can take me as little as eight minutes to get to Terminal B. People who would be served on the Port Washington branch of the LIRR could easily...

Tri-State Transportation Campaign I will see if I am able to attend the meeting on 1/29. Should be interesting, hopefully.

Interesting, I wonder what other agencies use those turnstiles. I thought New York was the only one.

MTA's funding however is routinely skimmed away for other things in NY's budget. In the end, it's an accounting issue.

Hm, seems NARP's response to the spamming of their comment section was to remove them. Ugh.

Amtrak likes to note maintenance (parts availability?) issues with their heritage fleet. What is different with how VIA is handling their fleet?

Hm, I have been trying to use your F59PHI modded files and I keep getting an error message that track.bin cannot be loaded. Edit: Just downloaded the RAR from that website and it looks like the mediafire version is missing a few files. Will try to see if it works now. Edit: Nope, does not...

Ugh, I would comment if I did not need to connect my FB count. Just another reason to my disliking of HuffPo.

NYP's NTD: 1. Great to see NARP have a table there. Talked shop about Empire Corridor, Hudson tunnels, etc. Someone came up and ask what competition we had as if we did not have any... 2. Was fun to have a look at the ACS-64 in TS2014 and talked a bit with Dovetail employees about the game...

Apparently for the free Surfliner route they are giving away, they do not hand out the codes at NTD. They handed out cards telling you to go to www.train-simulator.com/nationaltrainday and to give an email and name. Only thing is, it states the code will be sent within 48 hours. I hope it is...

Last year was a head scratcher especially when it was GCT's centennial. They had a lot more people visit than they had expected too. I would not have mind taking my buddy through a Viewliner set than waiting in an M8 as the lines were extraordinarily long.
