Please read this excellent piece by @DavidPorter_AP highlighting the hard work @Amtrak employees do to keep the Northeast Corridor running and why the sooner we #buildgateway the better!!

.@AmericanAir just wondering what you're doing to get the thousands of people you've stranded in the Caribbean (without a place to stay) home in less than a WEEK, which is all you've offered thus far. Completely unacceptable. Add flights. Do better. @krisvancleave any advice??!
@AmericanAir Is the airline going to add a flight to get people to the mainland? Just get us to Miami or Charlotte for God's sake. Leaving us here without a place to stay and no meaningful assistance is completely uncool. @krisvancleave
This is why @Amtrak and @NJTRANSIT are building a new, higher Portal North Bridge that won't have to open and close for river traffic. No solace for those stuck today but relief is on the way!
Rail service into/out of PSNY is suspended due to Amtrak Portal Bridge being stuck in the open position. Midtown service is being diverted to HOB. NJT rail tickets/passes are being cross honored by PATH at NWK, HOB, and 33rd St. NY. Visit https://t.co/FmAyCfZKZe ABC for Info.
Amtrak ridership on the Northeast Corridor is up 15-20% from pre-pandemic levels, says @Amtrak Chairman Tony Coscia at the Tonnelle Avenue groundbreaking. Even more evidence that the demand for rail transit in our region is high and the Gateway Program is desperately needed.
Momentum continues for the Gateway Program! Procurement has kicked off for the Sawtooth Bridges Replacement Project.

"Our stewardship of public resources like water, railways & civic space are critical to how communities thrive & strengthen resilience."
Beautifully said, @marisa_jahn. Her #ArtatAmtrak installation now wraps the future Gateway construction site. https://t.co/PaGHxLUJWw
The Hudson Tunnel is one step closer to getting built, thanks to $6.88B in CIG funding- the largest federal transit investment in US history!
We applaud the Biden Administration, @SenSchumer, and Congress for their commitment to investing in America's infrastructure.
With just two 113 year-old tracks under the Hudson, the busiest section of the Northeast Corridor will always be subject to delays like this. It's why we're working so hard w @SenSchumer@USDOT@Amtrak + others to build a new one like this: https://t.co/kTLL8harYI #BuildGateway
The last thing commuters want on a Monday morning are delays like this — but they’ll remain all too frequent until we get the Hudson Tunnel Project done. The time to #buildgateway is now — and thanks to hard work of project partners, we’re on our way.
@GatewayProgNews@Amtrak
Thank you @MitchLandrieu46, @GovMurphy, & @GovKathyHochul for speaking in support of the Gateway Program at the @RegionalPlan Assembly & recognizing the importance of Dock, Sawtooth, Harrison Fourth Track projects, in addition to the Hudson Tunnel & Portal North Bridge projects.
We're working with @NJTransit to deliver major infrastructure projects that will transform the way we travel. 🚄👷🏗️
The new Portal North Bridge will replace a 110+ y/o bridge, enhancing reliability, increasing capacity, and generating thousands of great jobs!
