New rail tunnel linking NJ and NYC announced
After a similar project was shutdown by NJ Governor Christie in October 2010, Amtrak and New Jersey’s (federal) Senators have announced a new plan — a tunnel that will carry another 13 PATH trains per hour and 8 more Amtrak trains. It would stop at Newark Penn and Secaucus Junction before crossing under the Hudson river and terminating at Penn Station, which would be expanded.
I would rather have a terminal at Grand Central, but I won’t lose too much sleep if this happens!
