  • 3.5: Freight Movement
    3.5 Freight Movement 3.5 Freight Movement A. INTRODUCTION This section describes the characteristics of the existing rail freight services and railroad operators in the project area. Also addressed is the relationship between those services and Build Alternative long-term operations. The study area contains several rail freight lines and yards that play key roles in the movement of goods to and from the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port on the east coast, as well as in the movement of goods vital to businesses and residents in multiple states. However, no long-term freight movement impacts are anticipated with the Build Alternative, and no mitigation measures will be required. B. SERVICE TYPES The following freight rail services are offered in the project area: • Containerized or “inter-modal” consists primarily of containers or Example of Doublestack Train with Maritime truck trailers moved on rail cars. Containers Intermodal rail traffic is considered the fastest growing rail freight market, and is anticipated to grow in the region between 3.9 and 5.6 percent annually through 2030, based on the NJTPA Freight System Performance Study (see Table 3.5-1). • Carload traffic consists of products that are typically moved in boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, and special lumber cars over a long distance by rail, and then either transported directly by rail or Example of Carload Rail Traffic shifted to truck for delivery to more local customers. The characteristics of these commodities (e.g., bulk, heavy or over- dimensional) make rail the preferred option for long-distance movement.

    Here's what the future of rail travel in the Northeast could be like | NJ.com 12/18/16, 3:57 PM Here's what the future of rail travel in the Northeast could be like By Jonathan D. Salant | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Email the author | Follow on Twitter on December 17, 2016 at 7:21 AM, updated December 17, 2016 at 12:17 PM WASHINGTON -- U.S. transportation officials proposed spending more than $120 billion over the next 30 years to revamp and overhaul railroad tracks in the Northeast Corridor, more than an hour off the trip between Washington and Boston, and expanding rail service throughout New Jersey. The report by the Federal Railroad Administration said a mixture of funding sources would need to be tapped to fulfill the plan of improved service along the 457-mile corridor, including some new tracks, new stations and new trains. The cost: $123 billion to $128 billion. Additional trains would provide connections to Newark Airport, Metropark and Secaucus Junction, stations would be expanded, and a new station would be built in North Brunswick. Gateway Tunnel is top Amtrak priority "While building this recommendation would require significant investment, the cost of doing nothing is much greater," U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said. "The communities and the economies of the Northeast cannot grow and flourish without significant, new investment." The report is the product of studies, hearings and comments about a corridor that carries 750,000 passengers every day on 2,200 trains and moves more than 350,000 car loads of freight annually.

  • Transit Appendix
    TRANSIT APPENDIX Contains: Future NJ TRANSIT Needs The Port Authority’s Interstate Transportation Role Transit Appendix 1 DRAFT Plan 2045: Connecting North Jersey Draft: Future Transit Needs in the NJTPA Region The following analysis of future transit needs was prepared by NJ TRANSIT to inform the development of Plan 2045: Connecting North Jersey. It will guide the NJTPA’s planning and capital programming activities over the next three decades. The foremost concern in projecting future funding needs is predicated on a fully funded state of good repair program for NJ TRANSIT’s existing public transit system. Addressing ongoing and sustained needs related to rehabilitation and basic systems improvements must also constantly progress in order to maintain a statewide public transit network that is responsive to customer needs. With the need to address a focus on state of good repair as a prerequisite, proposed future expansion projects need to be assessed through a series of physical/operational feasibility, environmental, economic and ridership, fiscal and financial analyses. Ongoing operating and maintenance costs associated with proposed projects are a critical component of analysis, as they have a direct impact on NJ TRANSIT’s annual operating budget. Among the future investment needs being considered for longer term capital funding are the following: Capacity Improvements and Transit Service Expansions Additional Trans-Hudson Public Transit Capacity Various studies are underway to examine ways to increase trans-Hudson bus, rail and ferry capacities. Among the major efforts is the Gateway Program, led by Amtrak, focused on preserving and increasing rail capacity between New Jersey and Manhattan. On a broader level, the Federal Railroad Administration is managing the NEC FUTURE effort examining the future needs of the entire Northeast Corridor from Washington, D.C.

  • Eastbound Pascack Valley and Port Jervis Line Weekday Schedule Change Effective Sunday, Sept
    Eastbound Pascack Valley and Port Jervis Line Weekday Schedule Change Effective Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018. Beginning Sunday, Sept. 9, there will be minor eastbound-only weekday schedule changes to connecting trains between Secaucus Junction and New York Penn Station for Pascack Valley and Port Jervis Line service. Schedule changes are the result of temporary NJ Transit changes to off-peak Raritan-New York thru-trains in support of Positive Train Control installation work. Frequent service between Secaucus Junction and New York Penn Station continues to be available on other NJT trains. The new schedule will not affect service between Spring Valley and Secaucus Junction/ Hoboken or between Port Jervis and Secaucus Junction/ Hoboken.
