President Roger Hull, an advocate for
improved rail service in the upstate corridor, is asking members of the Union
community who share his view to urge Gov. George Pataki's passage of a bill
that would add a second rail line between Schenectady
and Albany.

Hull
has cited a second rail as vital for providing access to the educational
resources of upstate, including Union
College, and a key element in the growth
of Schenectady and the region.

Schenectady's future and that of the entire upstate region will be far
brighter with the approval of Senator Stafford's Rail Bill, S. 7602, which
provides for the urgently needed second track between Albany and Schenectady. The vast higher education resources in
Upstate N.Y. must be accessible. Efficient rail service is critical for this to
occur.  

As New
York takes
a leading national role in technology developments, so too must it invest in
the infrastructure to support growth. Please follow through on your commitment
to enhanced rail service in Upstate by approving this important bill.
