Why it's time to expand the passenger-train network: Jersey edition.

Here's a brutal fact: Highway accidents are no respecter of persons.
A bad one just happened to Gov. Jon Corzine of New Jersey, en route from Atlantic City to Princeton.

Why was the governor on the road? Connections, the train kind, may have something to do with that. You can get from Atlantic City to Princeton Junction by train, but you'll have to change trains at Philly. Is it time for New Jersey Transit, Amtrak or both, to initiate one-seat service between Atlantic City and the Jersey cities of the Northeast corridor plus New York Penn Station?
