Metro North does run on the corridor. Connecticut Transit is a part of Metro North.

As for the LIRR, I misread the original posting. Nope, the LI doesn't run on the corridor. The LI cars and the electric cars used in Connecticut share a common body with the CT cars having resistor units on the roof.

The MTA is currently adding a tunnel from Long Island to Grand Central Terminal. As it stands now, the LI trains go into Penn Station. It will be interesting to see how the new tunnel affects routes.

That assumes that the MTA has money.  Iam going to meeting about MTA service cutbacks today at 6 PM Staten Island College.

As a follow up I went to the MTA meeting (which was mostly about Express Bus Service cutbacks )and asked about that tunnel Seems like they didn't know what I was talking about.

Got to wonder where our tax dollars and fare is going.
