The development of the MTA airport/commuter link from New York City to Stewart Airport at Newburgh, about 60 miles north of New York City on the west side of the Hudson River, opens the possibility of a high-speed passenger rail route in the New York City/Albany corridor. Comparisons of east-side and west-side service are made on basis of grades, curvatures, train types, travel times, communities served, ridership, economics of track improvement, and a computer simulation model. The east side has a higher speed potential, but there are more communities on the west side. The Albany station should be restored (in spite of the space conflict with Interstate 787), and used as well in Poston-Chicago service. A considerable amount of technical information is included.
