Amtrak is set to introduce a service providing one-seat train rides from Long Island to the mainland U.S. Officials proposed redirecting trains along Long Island Rail Road tracks, allowing three trains daily from Penn Station to Ronkonkoma and back. This service aims to improve transit efficiency and convenience, reducing the need for transfers at Penn Station. Although full implementation is anticipated by 2030, the development signals a significant step towards integrating the region's rail systems. Amtrak has highlighted demand for direct routes to major cities like Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
Amtrak plans to launch a service that would create the first one-seat train ride between Long Island and the mainland United States.
The new route could be a step toward addressing some of the region's biggest passenger railroad problems.
