MTA in line for federal positive train control loan
Again nys gets money from the rest of the taxpayers. There is no such thing as free money.
Should read NYC not nys
The lines mentioned above, Tarrytown to Croton-Harmon stations on the Hudson Line [NYS] and from Bridgeport to New Haven in Connecticut on the New Haven Line, are not in NYC.
Metro-North actually has four lines, all of which have operations outside of New York City:
Hudson Line, with stations between Ludlow/Yonkers and Poughkeepsie, NY; Port Jervis Line, Suffern to Port Jervis, NY; Harlem Line, Mount Vernon to Wassaic, NY; and the New Haven Line, with stations between Mount Vernon East and Port Chester, NY, also Greenwich to New Haven, CT. And most of the Long Island Railroad trackage likewise runs outside of NYC to points on the Island. The MTA, which operates both railroads, is an agency of New York State, but it is the agency which will receive the loan, not the state.
