NJ Transit is the Toonerville Trolly of the railroad world, and owned by the state of NJ, so you know who paid for that bridge bump.

NJ Transit is starved for cash. Last year being the Summer of Hell for commuters due to Gov Christie's constant budget cuts, no additional funding, and cancelling new construction. In that same town, a bridge for one of the most used roads has been closed for most of the past ten years. NJ Transit has that little money. A bridge was raised almost three feet because is costs so little. And was hit weekly. Raising bridges is easy, inexpensive, and should be routine over the many decades. But people like Christie and xoxoxoBruce just say it cannot be done - using emotional logic. Another bridge on the same railroad that demonstrates a problem that naysayers deny: |

No, I didn't say it couldn't be done, try reading for comprehension. I said we know who paid for it.

It wasn't a real railroad, it wouldn't have happened with a real railroad unless it was of benefit to them.

Fortunately rail traffic was halted in time. Since a bridge strike moved that bridge (that was obviously too low) and broke rails. It is not a real railroad only when one is naysaying emotionally. Standard for bridges is 14 feet. For some reason, the emotional would waste $trillions for 20 years on a Mission Accomplished war (that had no purpose) rather than fix infrastructure. While denying the problem. |

It's not my problem, you pay for it, I'm not paying for it, I have a righteous crusade in the middle east to pay for.
