That's not a huge number of trains. Even if it was, LIRR could work out a solution to have some Amtrak trains make it to the station a little earlier, or even having some wait time at the West Side Railyard.


Ha! You expect Amtrak to cater to LIRR's needs at Penn Station? No way...Amtrak is first priority...they make the LIRR cater their schedules to the time slots they lease out. This isn't some big happy family where everyone just works everything out for the good of everyone. In addition, the slots assume that all trains are pretty much on time, which we know with Amtrak rarely happens. That in turn, with wait times for late trains reduces the tph in the tunnels.
