	What's At Stake: West Shore Rail
		Action is needed to ensure the rail service providing the greatest benefits to your area goes forward first.
		Consideration of these criteria reveals the West Shore Commuter Rail (West Nyack to Hoboken via Secaucus Transfer Station) should be built first, followed by the Northern Branch Light Rail (Tenafly to Hoboken).
		The main obstacles to re-instituting passenger service on this currently active freight RR line are one, that its owner, CSX (the freight railroad), wants to preserve the rail capacity for high freight volumes and two, the need for elevated track construction over the wetlands in the Hackensack Meadowlands.

	The Brownsville Herald » Mexican feds say West Rail plan should be priority (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		June 23, 2003 — A Mexican federal agency reaffirmed this month that supporting a rail bridge to the west of Matamoros and Brownsville is its best option.
		The agency, Mexico’s federal subsecretariat of urban development, conducted a new analysis on an east versus west location and found its May 1988 findings to remain unchanged — a rail bridge to the east is feasible from a financial, environmental and planning point of view.
		Tamayo said a west site is feasible because the cost of developing a rail-only bridge is less, Matamoros’ urban development would not be affected, the east side is flood prone, and there is need to protect wetlands to the east of the city.
