Talk:Rhinecliff-Kingston (Amtrak station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It says "Though it stops at Poughkeepsie, only people transfering to other service at Penn Station may board there." I use the station regularly for Metro North, and when I go to a Knicks game, I take Amtrak in to avoid using the subway. (madison square garden is in the Penn Station complex) Is there any verifibility to this?
- Amtrak's own schedule for the Empire service says the following:
- No local passengers carried [to/from Penn Station] between Yonkers, Croton-Harmon, or Poughkeepsie. Frequent local service is available on Metro-North Railroad.
- I'd say it was because of track rights, but given that it is possible for someone to board at New Haven, Stamford, or New Rochelle on the New Haven Line into Penn as a local passenger something else may be at play. Scrabbleship 18:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
