BREAKING: Metro North Hudson Line will begin to extend trains to Albany starting in the spring of 2026, this is to help reduce the congestion caused by the cuts of Amtrak trains due to the East River Tunnel work.

This was teased for years and years through various attempts and studies. Now It’s coming sooner than we all thought.

They should make more Stations between Poughkeepsie and Albany besides just Rhinecliff and Hudson. Metro North can keep this going full-time with more Stations to help serve the smaller communities along the line.

I wonder how that will go, is it going to be temporary or permanent plans?
