At one time, there was a plan to extend 3d rail to Peekskill. Story goes that Dutchess county bitched big time, saying that their taxpayer contributions into the newly (then) formed MTA warrented extention all the way to Poughkeepsie.Why should we contribute to a service improvement that will not benifit our residents was the outcry. Court fight, public hearings, a lawyers dream etc. till fimally the MTA said that the end of 3d rail will stay at Croton North and "shelved" the extension plan for some future date. Ill stick my neck out here & say that 3d rail will NEVER reach Poughkeepsie |
