New York Rail Tunnels Vulnerable to Bomb Attack

New York rail tunnels seen as vulnerable- report WASHINGTON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - An analysis done for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says commuter train tunnels under the Hudson River are more vulnerable to a bomb attack than previously thought, The New York Times reported on Thursday. The analysis revises critical aspects of an assessment given the agency last spring, making clear that the PATH tunnels stretching across the Hudson riverbed are structurally more fragile than first thought, the paper said in an article on its Web site. The New York Times said it had received a draft summary of the most recent analysis from a government official concerned about what the official felt was a lack of action. The latest analysis indicates it would take only six minutes for one of the PATH system's four tunnels to flood if a significant bomb were detonated, the official was quoted as saying. The official told the newspaper that the Port Authority had received the new findings three weeks ago and had yet to share the information with the governors of New York and New Jersey, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg or law enforcement agencies. A Port Authority spokesman declined to answer specific questions about the analysis or with whom it had been share, the Times said. "If we believed in any way that passengers were in danger, we'd close the system," spokesman Marc La Vorgna said. "That would happen immediately." The spokesman said the Port Authority had taken steps in recent weeks to increase PATH security but he refused to to say what had prompted the actions, the Times reported.>

How does your train run?

Ok the thread title may sound silly but I'm just curious how your city's rapid transit run? Do they run through overhead wires or do they run on the third rail? In HK, the MTR runs on the third rail except the Tung Chung and Disneyland lines. The KCR and Airport Express run on overhead lines >

How does your train run (but then in a different meaning)?

Since I thought the original thread wanted to find out what the route and frequency of your daily commute were, but turned out to be all about power supply, I'll start a new one: How does your train run; i.e.: - what's its route and - what's its frequency (per hour)? If there are more trains leaving from your station, or if you have to transfer to get to your destination, mention those ones as well. My (former) daily trip between my home town Diemen (located southeast of Amsterdam) and Amsterdam Central Station is a local train ('stoptrein') that runs from Almere to Amsterdam Central, twice an hour. I board the train at Diemen station, which is two stations away from Amsterdam Central.>

Tenerife tram opened now? (end of March)

Hi! I am reading across the net that a tram line is finished on Tenerife? Is this true? I cannot speak or read Spanish. So it would be very nice of someone here to tell if it is or not? Maybe some got pics from it? Also a Metro is due to open in october 2007 in Palma on Mallorca? Things are happening with Spanish cities it seems, even on their islands aswell.>
