MNR in Penn Station? Really? How would that work?

Getting a Hudson line train into Penn on Amtrak's West Side line would be hard, since the line isn't electrified, you can't bring a diesel into Penn Station, and the LIRR uses a different third rail.

Getting a New Haven line train into Penn would also be hard with today's trains; are the M8s going to have a retractable contact shoe that wouldn't smash the third rail on LIRR?

There isn't a plan to build a track connection from Metro North into Penn, is there? I thought it was just the other way around.
