Perhaps a better idea would simply be to convert the Hudson line to a 25kv catenary installation as far north as Albany. Get NYS, the MTA, Amtrak and maybe even CSX in on the project (although I wouldn't expect CSX to pony up any money). Run high voltage AC cat from NYP up the Empire Connection through to Albany, even if it means double-electrifying up to Croton-Harmon. With such an installation you could theoretically have through-running from Poughkeepsie to New Haven with something like an ALP46 if the proper slots existed at NYP and in the East River tubes. |
