    Empire Corridor Track Work

    I think there should be two tracks from Schenectady to Niagara Falls. They just built a new station in Niagara Falls. It doesn't matter whether the freight companies or Amtrak does the work. Maybe they could split the cost. It would make travel easier and faster for people.
