   If they're going to run trains between Port Jervis and Binghamton at   
   all, it'd only make sense as an extension of the existing NJT service   
   where they have crews and maintenance.  If people wanted to ride locally   
   between PJ and Binghamton, they could, although that's not exactly a   
   high density area.

   It seems marginally higher as an extension of an active commuter line,   
   and one where the track is intact and in use by freight, but it's   
   pretty tough either way.
