    When third track is 100% complete it will be a huge boost for Long Island. Even though I use the Far Rockaway branch which isn’t part of the mainline I’m very happy that we’re finally seeing a much needed infrastructure upgrade on the verge of completion. Everyone will win with the third track.

    Just hoping we can get more North South connections one day in the future. If I want to go to bay shore out of any part of the port Jeff branch I find it weird I need to go to Hicksville and back. I know they won’t ever do it but a man can dream 😭

      Yeah. Like the Hicksville to Babylon shuttle. That was a cool idea. They should implement that

    The problem with triple track is that you can only do one way express service at a time. But if you can’t expand it any further without more headaches than necessary, then it works I suppose

    Meanwhile other countries have bullet trains.

      @Joseph Yeah Plus houses are on the main line and if a bullet train derails at high speed it could damage houses and buildings on the sidelines of the tracks

    Did I hear that right? Hicksville will be the station. Is this the train line that will go into Grand Central?

      Hicksville will be served with East Side Access by the end of the year

    And LIRR trains are still running late. Funny how adding a third track in 99 years is described as a huge milestone and a big accomplishment when China is networking the entire country with high speed trains In less than 15 years. Less talking and more working will be better for America.

      LIRR hasn't had any serials since I think 2017 but with this third track today it might prevent trains from rushing.
