Amtrak's Empire Service to get $151 million for high speed rail
The Empire Corridor, which links New York City, the Capital Region and Buffalo/Niagara Falls, will be one of the biggest recipients of high speed rail money.
We'll get about $151 million to finally get going on a plan that’s been talked about for decades.
A trip to and from the Rensselaer Train Station could be a bit easier, and a bit faster, thanks to hundreds of millions of dollars in stimulus money New York is going to get for improvements to make high speed rail travel a possibility.
Sen. Charles Schumer/D-New York: “The places they chose to actually build the rail are places where we can get shovels in the ground because the work is already done, and the number one place in the state that needed change to make high speed rail happen was the Albany/Schenectady corridor.”
