The secaucus loop needs to happen regardless. Orange and rockland counties absolutely need a direct one seat ride into manhattan.

The Times Herald Record is reporting that Mike Hein is leaving his position as Ulster county executive to go work in the cuomo administration. I wonder if the CMRR will have a more favorable situation with whoever takes his place.

That’s an Orange and rockland switcher I believe. Central Hudson had two mid cab GE switchers. One of which still sits at the roseton power plant.

It would be far too expensive for any government to take on, and probably not lucrative enough for private enterprise. A commuter line into NYC wouldn’t be lucrative enough for a private enterprise? I wholeheartedly disagree. It’s a private enterprise that should be involved with an idea like the w...

Because Amtrak is Government subsidized. First class service on Amtrak will never be what it should be. There's room for improvement sure, but with the current CEO I wouldn't bank on it.

The ferry to beacon is not a practical or permanent solution. It doesn’t even run in the winter when the river is frozen, you cannot depend on that. No ferry connection from the west shore to the east is good enough or even practical enough. For a commuter that has to involved a subway or taxi or bu...

The cities on the west shore of the Hudson River that were listed won't be getting passenger rail service anytime soon. Newburgh still has a ways to go, especially once you get away from the waterfront. Many of those people drive across the river to Beacon for the train. As far as Kingston goes, th...

I strongly believe that reviving passenger service on the west shore line could be one of the most impactful rail expansion projects in NYS and needs to happen. To give cities such as Nyack, Newburgh Kingston and even Catskill direct service would be a huge boost to those towns along the west side o...

Would this expansion mean double tracked stations/adding a second platform on the westbound side of the Orange County stations??

More frequent express trains with far less stops in NJ would really benefit Orange County, can't wait to have that as an option.

This delay has gotten way beyond absurd. I'm still shocked that this is the production rate of rail related projects in this country.

Yeah a ferry definitely wouldn't cut it.

Hudson line to Stewart airport? I've never heard of that proposal. Is there any information on what the plan would be? I haven't found anything on that

Rhinecliff on the Empire Service line. It was the first train through the station since the line resumed service following the blizzard.

There is also a stack train sitting in catskill waiting to go south. As of this afternoon the locomotives are back on the rail and the remaining cars that were not damaged have been moved back up north. Damaged cars still remain and the track in that section has been destroyed and will need to be re...

I saw the track geometry train heading south through the highland area today too (prior to the derailment). This is right around where the line goes to double track for the passing siding at the CP in Cornwall
