(erielack) Which Stewart Airport is it

["Inlinebob_@_aol.com"]

The burnbing question in these Tappan Zee threads is "Where is Stewart 
Aiprot." Some say Nyack, some say Newburgh which is where I think it is.

Given that, there are then TWO rail routes being considered for connection to 
the east side of the Hudson... the Erie via Nyack to Suffern and beyond (NS) 
and the CSX River Line up to Newburgh.

Unless of course, someone is putting the Walkill RR back ;-)

Given that, it seesm that the bridge will have a dramatic frieght rail impact 
for both NS and CSX... one that would allow CSX to give up the northern part 
of the Hudson line totally to Amtrak (retaining local rights) or if a full 
wye was biult on the east side CSX would have a "double-track" route to 
Piermont. 

More interesting for NS is the opportunity open traffic to New England that 
cannot move under Penn Station.

Also interesting to the dreamer in me is the chance for Amtrak to restore 
NY-Buffalo/Chicago service on the Erie directly from GCT or NYP!!!!!

Fun stuff!
