When The Tunnels Go

Ok, if, but it will be a disaster.
For the third day in a row, electrical problems in century-old rail tunnels under the Hudson River on Wednesday stymied the commutes of tens of thousands of New Jersey Transit riders, illustrating again the shortcomings of the region’s languishing infrastructure system.

I know plenty of transit nerds who didn't much like the project that Christie cancelled and gave 1-2 cheers for its cancellation, but I also remember their confidence that a replacement project would be in place. The ARC project was cancelled almost 5 years ago. There is no replacement project.
