New dates for US transit inaugurations:
The Camden/Trenton (NJ) diesel light rail line, which was supposed to
open on 13 February, had its inauguration postponed to 14 March,
following last minute problems with the automatic half-barrier crossing
gates that are a feature of the highway level crossings on the former
railroad section.
New Orleans' Canal Street tramway, which had its opening postponed last
year due to unfinished landscaping and paving, will now open on 18
April.
The opening of the new light rail line in Minneapolis-St Paul, scheduled
for 3 April, is likely to be postponed due to a potential strike by
operating staff of the transit agency, following the breakdown of pay
negotiations.
