Why? Would you mind giving the lowdown on NY's rail system?
-
-
-
Subways were built from the get-go on completely different alignments from mainline rail, often parallel
-
which means you'd need substantial construction to link them up--and I suspect there would be other problems w vehicle specs
-
Is this not true for most commuter rail? I thought Tokyo was the exception when it came to this sort of thing.
-
In a city like Boston, all four subway lines make use of former (or current) mainline alignments--interoperation would be more practical
-
London also has this pattern--and I think it's pretty typical in Germany and some other European countries
-
Which pattern? New York's? Or Boston's?
-
Boston's pattern; using former or current mainline alignments for subway service

East side access is under construction already
-
yeah.......
-
So there'll be contiguous access bw basically all routes, idk how they're gonna do transfers tho, like if u can transfer from mnr to lirr
-
Oh wait u mean like running subways on diff tracks but u can't cuz they're diff sizes right?
-
The gauge is the same (right?) but I'm less sure about train bodies
-
And yeah I mean suburban rail detouring to run through subway tunnels, and subways continuing past current terminals on suburban lines
-
ala Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Fukuoka, etc
