I’m all for trains, but this decision literally is adding 0 more trucks to roads as it has been unused for 7 years.

For this to be viable for passenger service it’d be a massive undertaking involving buying land from an additional railway (NS?) and then changing the gauge of the rail to whatever PRT uses. Unless the plan is to create some other form of passenger rail or just extend Amtrak service up there which is way more wishful thinking.

I don’t get how AVR is shooting themselves in the foot by offloading something that generates no revenue and hasn’t for 7 years.
