Re: Metro-North service to Rensselaer is dead

I dont get it. Start with the idea that Amtrak loses money on its NYP-Albany trains. If Amtrak were to hand over the service to Metro North, that's red ink off their books (and on to Metro North's). Since it seems that MN gets all its $$$ from Albany, it would be a win win situation for NYP (actually GCT)-Albany travelers that improved Metro North service would provide.. An since Hochul is up for re election, she wouldn't want to piss off any Hudson Valley voters.
BTW the Idea of MN taking over Albany service has been kicked around for years...and went nowhere.
