So there has been a ruling, but it’s still a complicated issue. I have a piece in the Pittsburgh City Paper this week which looks at the issues: http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A82230

Thanks for your interest.

Is there any new information on this? Has there been a ruling? If there has not yet been a ruling is there an estimated time when one might be expected.

This subject has been knocked around for over 20 years.

Andrew,

Thanks for keeping an eye on this. I never understood why any form of commuter rail didn’t connect with the Norfolk Southern (NS) line for a short hop and go right into Penn Station in downtown Pittsburgh, rather then through the Strip District ground route. Is NS just too difficult to negotiate with? Like Eli said, I would love to hear more about what is going on with issues like this in Pittsburgh.

Thanks!

David
