Poughkeepsie (Metro-North Station) - Future

Future

A massive restoration in the late 20th century included the reconstruction of the overpass from the station to Main Street and a large parking garage to serve commuters (many of whom come from points north and west). Since the 1990s, there have been rumors and plans to expand the Hudson Line north to Rhinecliff (or even further to Rensselaer). Local property owners have objected to this given plans to build stations in Hyde Park and Staatsburg though those who do commute via Poughkeepsie are in favor of the plan.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    “Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Although I’m trying very hard
    To sound unlike a birthday card,
    That’s all this is: so you may find it
    Full of all that lies behind it
    Admiration; friendship too;
    And hope that in the future you
    Reap ever richer revenue.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
