>>1742396>WTF is wrong with new jersey??I'm convinced nobody affiliated with NJ Transit has an IQ above 75.
>take over running trains from NYC to Philadelphia in 2005>immediately truncate service to Trenton, ensuring the trains will always be empty south of New Brunswick>receive funding to rebuild and run trains on the Lackawanna Cutoff in 2008>lay 4 miles of track in several disconnected segments>spend the next decade suing some farm for property access so you can replace a culvert that might overflow in a 100-year storm; end up paying the farm a fat settlement>decide to build a new culvert somewhere else anyway>the track you laid a decade ago is now fucked from sitting on the ground for 10 years with no ballast or maintenance>service to the first new stop on the line is projected to begin in 2027>need to build a new tunnel to Manhattan>reach agreement to build it where NJ pays ~$2 billion>cancel said agreement on account of the cost>wait a decade>reach a new agreement to build it>NJ now contributes $5 billion>cancel train service during Hurricane Sandy for fear of flooding>park all the trains in your yard on the banks of the Hackensack River>they all get ruined by floodwaterMany such cases.
