12-Month Daily Train Service from Kingston Plaze to the Ashokan Reservoir

Many Kingston and Area businesses and residents are for 12-month daily Train Service from the Kingston Plaza to the Glenford Dike at the edge of the Ashokan Reservoir. As many of you know, Ulster County Executive Mike Hein has proposed a lengthy "walk-around" from Kingston to the Hurley Flats to allow a trail to co-exist with the Rail for about 2 miles. If Mike Hein can propose this walk-around, Area businesses and residents can continue to propose additional walk-arounds for the trail access to the Glenford Dike, so as to convince Mike Hein to allow the tracks to remain in place to the Glenford Dike and to allow the huge money-maker of 12-month daily Train Service from the Kingston Plaza to the Glenford Dike at the edge of the Ashokan Reservoir.  The tourists from everywhere will get off the Thruway at our Exit 19 and spend money and enjoy themselves riding from the Kingston Plaza to the Ashokan Reservoir on the Train, daily, 12-months per year.  Let's be reasonable. This is huge.

It is nice to see several residents writing about the desire to support the handicapped and senior citizens who do not hike and bike. The railroad personnel can easily assist the seniors and handicapped on and off the train. We citizens do not accept the handicapped and seniors being ignored by Mike Hein's plan to rip up the tracks from Kenco at the Hurley Mt.Road to the Ashokan Reservoir, thus forever preventing the handicapped and seniors from enjoying the ride to and from the Kingston Plaza and the Reservoir.
