Schematic for N.Y. PENN STATION EXPANSION PROJECT (PENN SOUTH)
FYI -- Those future tunnels you see there under West 30th St. out to Queens are basically there as decoration since they'll likely never be built.
Even if all went according to plan, the railroads estimate through-running service would be operational by roughly 2080 (not kidding).
So, since all the things they claim are impossible would have to be solved for regardless, the choice we're facing right now is either do Penn Station through-running now with less disruption and for lower cost.... or do the obviously wrong choice.
Happy to elaborate on any of these points for those who are curious/enjoy stirring the pot.
