Plans for a new train tunnel from Penn Station to New Jersey have finally been dumped.
Amtrak, which owns the existing NJ-Penn tunnel, has stopped talking with NJ Transit about ways to revive the $8.7 billion project, scrapped last month by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Amtrak says it’s going to focus instead on high-speed rail service on the Northeast Corridor.
Christie called a halt to the project, saying New Jersey taxpayers couldn’t risk the likelihood of massive cost overruns.
