Interesting about the freight only, though doesn't the Boston-Albany trackage handle Amtrak trains? I wonder if they did that to preclude something like Amtrak purchasing the Boston to Albany link and making it passenger prioritized or passenger only? (I am just speculating, folks, I have no knowledge of any such attempt, and given the hostility towards Amtrak in the government these days, unlikely they would have the money). Otherwise not sure what that is about, given that no railroads outside execursions or museums do passenger outside government run services.
