Reviving Old Rail Lines

Laptop Battery Maybe this is just sentimental wishful thinking. Maybe we had "The Little Engine that Could" ("I think I can, I think I can") read to us too often as toddlers. But when transportation planners start talking about reviving some of the old rail lines scattered around southern New Jersey ... well, it just sounds right.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

It seems like it wouldn't take much to put them to work again hauling people from place. Sounds like a relatively inexpensive way to add some alternative sources of transportation to the area.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computers Of course, that's just what the SJTPO's very preliminary six-month, $60,000 study is looking at. What would it take to get them up and running? What links are possible to existing rail service?

The route through Matawan would be a shorter ride and could be electrified since all the rails are gone. It would also pass by an area with more commuters than Englishtown. The people of Marlboro have been writing for months, complaining about the old rail line becoming a hiking trail. If that upsets them so much, renew the old 35. mile abandoned freight line between Lakehurst and Matawan for the new commuter rail. I would gladly take a hiking trail.

Laptop Computer The four lines being studied are: a 16-mile stretch between Atlantic City and Mays Landing that was abandoned about 25 years ago; a 28-mile line from Winslow Junction to Cape May, a portion of which is now used to haul coal to the B.L. England power plant; a 15-mile Millville-Vineland-Winslow line; and a 32-mile Glassboro-to-Vineland corridor.

Desktop Computer Sure, it's a tad whimsical to think any of these old tracks could someday soon be carrying passengers as part of an economically viable new rail line. But as dreams go, this isn't a bad one.

Notebooks Rail travel can be a practical alternative to crowded highways, and as southern New Jersey inevitably grows, mass-transit alternatives are going to be ever more attractive to an increasing number of people.

Lenovo The SJTPO deserves credit for even entertaining the idea that old rail lines could be made new again.
