[QUOTE]Originally posted by jp1822: [QB] Always interesting to hear issues regarding service to NY Penn Station. I know one of the plans was to travel east via the Capitol Limited and then connect the PRJ to the Pennsylvanian and on in to NYP. But then westbound, it was to take the route of the Lake Shore Limited. Being that this is not an option, East Coast to Midwest option would be to run to Philly or Boston if NYP is not an option. Again, they could do eastbound into Philly, but westbound on the same route out of Philly to Chicago would require some extra moves in Pittsburgh. Less so if the train operated to Boston. And of course the extra "power" is there to get the train from Albany to Boston via the Lake Shore's Boston section. It's just that the Boston section is not as popular as say the NYP section. And if PRJ operated in/out of Philly, it's a nice mid-point between NYP and Washington DC, requiring a transfer though......and then the Pittsburgh westbound switching issues without the "convenience" of extra trackage in the station. Too bad, as I would have liked to see something equivalent to the former Broadway Limited run between East Coast and Midwest (without the ridiculous 9:30 p.m. departure time). Personally, I am waiting for Amtrak to sort of ban private car operation in/out of NYP and Sunnyside Yard. I sense there is general contention their overall. And typically the PV Car is positioned in the Newark yard prior to its maiden voyage......(i.e. get it in/out of Sunnyside as soon as possible). [/QB][/QUOTE]
