Reply to comment by sebileis in Brilliant Line will provide a car-free route across Allegheny River by hydrateandchill

Do some research.

AVRR was willing to sell it, as that stretch of rail no longer has any rail customers. The last customer, a scrap yard, closed in 2015.

If it wasn’t for this repurposing, it would have just rotted away

I’m aware of those studies. Guess what there is no existing passenger rail for it to connect to. So that’s not realistic.

Regardless you’re making bad faith statements. Your comments indicate that the Brilliant line is an actively used freight rail line, and Riverlife somehow how forced a sale. The result is that rail traffic (which doesn’t exist) is moved to trucks. Like I said this hasn’t been used since 2015.

My car doesn't use gas. I haven't been to a gas station in years, thanks.

I dunno how it feels, because I don't have a Tesla.

Take another swing, champ. You almost got a piece of that one!
