Re: Amtrak orders 75 new Siemens Charger locomotives for LD trains

I want some ALB-Jamaica trains so I have a 1 seat ride to/from AirTrain. Transferring from Amtrak to LIRR during either peak hour in either direction (even if travelling reverse-peak) sucks. They would have to be trains from ALB because a train to the airport delayed by nonsense in CSX/Canadian Pacific controlled tracks will not "fly". Headed back west they can go wherever since the delays would not effect flight connections.

That said, with the new 2nd track to Ronkonkoma and the soon-to-exist 3rd track to Hicksville, I'd say Ronkonkoma would make the most sense (with an intermediate stop in Mineola or Hicksville). They should try converting the closer parts of that giant lot in Ronkonkoma to a parking garage first, though.
