Schumer said transit officials have reached an agreement on using part of a $30 billion federal rail account that was included in the recently passed infrastructure bill.
Part of the money will help Amtrak and the MTA rehabilitate East River tunnels that are used by Amtrak and the Long Island Rail Road. The tunnels suffered damage from Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
The other project would establish a line to Penn Station for Metro-North trains from Connecticut and Westchester County that currently go to Grand Central Terminal.
