Hello. I've been hearing about problems in Penn Station for awhile now. I am confused why this seems to be the problem area when other areas with third rail electric and railroad ties and track aren't problematic in the system?
Other areas have had track work and tie replacements and even electric work, yet why does Penn Station which requires same maintenance seem to be getting passed over and on top of that, when they admit the problems, they don't just schedule a replacement project with a fixed time frame like other areas of Amtrak.
Take Springfield, MA. Amtrak has annoinced the work which has been slow going and delayed but at least they have announced time frames for that work. With Amtrak and Penn Station they seem to refuse to set a timeframe with real projects.
Is there an issue with Amtrak unions specific to Penn Station? It just doesn't make sense.
