The post has a terrible title, as usual.

$3.2B is for the entire project, which adds 4 Metro North stations and 1-2 additional tracks along Amtrak's line through the Bronx. It also includes various other power/track/signal upgrades between New Rochelle and Sunnyside.

It also includes realignment of existing trackwork, new and upgraded drainage systems, new interlockings and reconfigured existing interlockings, new and realigned catenary lines, replacement/rehab of existing rail bridges and all the ancillary work (e.g.: substations, civil work, etc etc etc) that goes along with everything that's been mentioned.

Am I crazy or does all of this actually not seem bad for 3.2B? Obviously the price will increase over time as this is NYC but the starting point seems like a pretty good deal

Shocked the New York Post of all papers would try to stoke outrage against new stations in the Bronx.
