Talk:East River Tunnels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] NJ Transit

Shouldn't some mention be made of NJ transit since almost all their trains to Penn use these tunnels to get to their yard and staging area in Queens? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.81.153 (talk • contribs) 00:01, 15 December 2006

I don't know that it's really a fact worth mentioning, especially not with the article's current form. Considering the the LIRR (which uses the tunnels for a large percent of its service) gets only a brief mention that the tunnels are the first and only access to Manhattan, I think it would be giving NJT's non-revenue movements undue weight in the article to mention them. If the whole article were rewritten, separating the historical aspects from the modern ones (though I imagine there's very little worth mentioning on the modern end), then it might be possible to sneak in a mention of that, but it's not a very important bit of information. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amtrak beyond Queens?

If Amtrak NE corridor trains use these tunnels, how do they get past Queens to Connecticut? Is there a bridge over the Long Island Sound? --Jfruh (talk) 03:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
