Near Airport

The State Department of Transportation today settled a longstanding lawsuit with Amtrak over a never-completed project to bring high-speed rail to the Albany-New York run. And though the settlement will not itself bring the project to fruition, it may open the door to significant capital and track improvements that could bring down times on the train ride deeply familiar to, among others, Albany lawmakers from downstate districts, who take the train twice a week during much of the year.

High-speed rail between New York’s biggest city and its state capital has been a glimmer in the eye of governors, lawmakers, and planners for years. And in 1998, the state signed an agreement with Amtrak to recondition some old trains with better engines and straighten out some of the tracks between Albany and New York so that the trains could pick up speed. The two-and-a-half-hour ride -on a good day - would drop to two hours, and the agreement was hailed as potentially a national model for high-speed rail.
