There is a groundswell of support for keeping some of the Amtrak trains in GCT. There have been discussions. Metro-North is adamantly against but in the end, if they are told to make it happen, they will have to make it happen....just as they are now.
Penn Station is still a disaster. It will ALWAYS be a disaster as long as the infrastructure is overload and pounded into submission by the relentless onslaught of trains. The tunnels are still in trouble, the electrical system is still old and the sands of time have already started running against the work that was previously done.
Diversification of resources should be the goal.

Up until recently, Amtrak was a total disaster at Penn Station. Track 19 will be ready soon and the Harold Amtrak bypass I presume isn’t ready yet but will help as well when it is completed for Northeastern Corridor trains.
