The thing that will kill 3rd rail to Poughkeepsie will be opposition to any storage facility in the area

How do they currently solve the storage problem with the dual mode push-pull trains?

That last low platform at Poughkeepsie will have to be raised to high, too, i.e. if it's still low and they want to use it with their high-platform-only MUs.

But that's a lot of third rail through a lot of nothing between each station

That's the way they did it originally, yes? Back when the third rail first was put in, there was quite a bit of "nothing" between the stations up to Harmon. The third rail's been in operation for over a century now.
