The '''Empire Corridor''' is a {{convert|461|mi|km|adj=on}} [[passenger rail]] corridor in [[New York State]] running between [[New York Penn Station|Penn Station]] in [[New York City]] and {{amtk|Niagara Falls, New York}}. Major cities on the route include [[Poughkeepsie, New York|Poughkeepsie]], [[Albany, New York|Albany]], [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]], [[Amsterdam, New York|Amsterdam]], [[Utica, New York|Utica]], [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]], [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]], and [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]]. Much of the corridor was once part of the [[New York Central Railroad]]'s main line.

[[Amtrak|Amtrak's]] ''[[Empire Service]]'' and ''[[Maple Leaf (train)|Maple Leaf]]'' serve the entire length of the Empire Corridor, with the ''Maple Leaf'' continuing northwest to {{amtk|Toronto}}. The ''[[Lake Shore Limited]]'' follows most of the corridor from New York City, diverging west to [[Chicago Union Station|Chicago]] at the [[Buffalo–Depew station]]. The ''[[Berkshire Flyer]]'' takes the corridor to {{amtk|Albany–Rensselaer}}, before diverging east to {{amtk|Pittsfield}}, while the ''[[Adirondack (train)|Adirondack]]'' and ''[[Ethan Allen Express]]''  travel one stop further to {{amtk|Schenectady}}, before diverging north to {{amtk|Montreal}} and {{amtk|Burlington||Ethan Allen Express}}, respectively. [[Metro-North Railroad]]'s [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]] merges with the Empire Corridor in [[Spuyten Duyvil, Bronx]], just south of {{mnrr|Riverdale}}, providing commuter rail service between [[Poughkeepsie, New York]] and [[Grand Central Terminal]] in New York City.

The line is electrified by both [[Overhead line|overhead catenary]] and top-running [[third rail]] on the Amtrak-owned segment between [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|Penn Station]] and 41st Street, as well as by under-running [[third rail]] on the Metro-North segment, from the merge with the Hudson Line to {{mnrr|Croton–Harmon}}. The Amtrak-owned section between 41st Street and the merge with the Hudson Line is unpowered, and can only be served by diesel or [[Electro-diesel locomotive|dual-mode]] trains.

The corridor is also one of ten federally designated [[High-speed rail in the United States|high-speed rail]] corridors in the United States. If the proposed high-speed service were to be built on the corridor, trains traveling between Buffalo and New York City could travel at speeds of up to {{convert|125|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. In the 1890s, the ''[[Empire State Express]]'' between New York City and Buffalo was about 1&nbsp;hour faster than Amtrak's service in 2013. On September&nbsp;14, 1891, the ''Empire State Express'' covered the {{convert|436|mi|km}} between New York City and Buffalo in 7&nbsp;hours and 6&nbsp;minutes (including stops), averaging {{convert|61.4|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, with a top speed of {{convert|82|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name="KUHF">{{cite web| url=http://www.kuhf.org/cdprojects/steam/track12.html| title=Rain, Steam & Speed: Inventing Powered Motion| author=John Lienhard| access-date=January 28, 2007| archive-date=July 20, 2006| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060720104213/http://www.kuhf.org/cdprojects/steam/track12.html| url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=NYT1893>{{cite news| url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1893/05/12/106864316.pdf| title=GREAT SPEED Off THE CENTRAL.; Empire State Express Engine Travels at the Rate of 112 1-2 Miles an Hour| work=The New York Times| date=May 12, 1893| access-date=December 13, 2007}}</ref>

==Ownership==
The Empire Corridor is largely owned by [[CSX Transportation]] (CSX), which owns most of the trackage between Niagara Falls and [[Poughkeepsie, New York|Poughkeepsie]].<ref name="timetable">Amtrak system timetable, Fall 2010/Winter 2011, page 25</ref> Amtrak owns trackage rights for most of the Hudson line section north of Poughkeepsie to its rail yard in [[Albany, New York|Albany]]. South of Poughkeepsie, the Empire Corridor is coextensive with Metro-North's trackage until it forks-off between Metro-North's Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil stations in the Bronx, to cross the [[Harlem River]] over the [[Spuyten Duyvil Bridge]] and make the [[Empire Connection]] to Penn Station. Amtrak owns the trackage after that fork, the [[West Side Line]].

The corridor had been part of the main line of the [[New York Central Railroad]]; it was the eastern leg of the NYC's famed "Water Level Route" to [[Chicago]]. The corridor passed to [[Penn Central Transportation Company|Penn Central]] in 1968 upon the NYC's merger with the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]], and passed to [[Conrail]] in 1976. In a series of purchases in the 1980s and 1990s, Amtrak bought the Bronx–Manhattan segment, Metro-North acquired the Poughkeepsie–Bronx segment, and CSX acquired the remainder when it split Conrail's assets with [[Norfolk Southern Railway|Norfolk Southern]], in 1999.

On October&nbsp;18, 2011, Amtrak and CSX announced an agreement for Amtrak to lease, operate and maintain the CSX-owned trackage between Poughkeepsie and [[Schenectady, New York|Schenectady]].<ref name="lease">{{cite web|title=Amtrak to lease Empire Corridor trackage from CSX|url=http://trn.trains.com/en/Railroad%20News/News%20Wire/2011/10/Amtrak%20to%20lease%20Empire%20Corridor%20trackage%20from%20CSX.aspx|publisher=Trains Magazine|access-date=October 19, 2011|date=October 18, 2011}}</ref> Amtrak officially assumed control of the line on December&nbsp;1, 2012.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Governor Cuomo Announces Hudson Rail Lease - Amtrak/CSX Deal Will Improve Passenger Service, Move Projects Forward|date=December 4, 2012|publisher=[[Amtrak]]|location=[[Albany, New York]]|url=http://www.amtrak.com/ccurl/13/26/Amtrak-CSX-Hudson-Line-Release-ATK-12-126.pdf|access-date=December 5, 2012}}</ref> Later, Amtrak bought the segment between Schenectady and [[Hoffmans, New York|Hoffmans]] from CSX.

==Current services==
The busiest segment of the Empire Corridor is between New York City and [[Albany, New York|Albany]] with twelve trains per day.

===Amtrak===
[[File:Southbound Amtrak Train, Riverdale, Bronx, NY.jpg|thumb|Southbound Amtrak train on Hudson line tracks, just south of [[Riverdale station (Metro-North)|Riverdale Station]].  Looking south from 254th street bridge, Riverdale, Bronx, NY]]
The following trains operate along the varied segments of the corridor:
*''[[Empire Service]]'': local service along the entire corridor from [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|New York City]] to {{amtk|Niagara Falls, NY}}. Most trains operate along the southern segment between New York and {{amtk|Albany}}, with three trains in each direction continuing west to Niagara Falls daily.
*''[[Maple Leaf (train)|Maple Leaf]]'': daily service from New York City to {{amtk|Toronto}}, operating on the entire corridor.
*''[[Lake Shore Limited]]'': daily service from New York City to {{amtk|Chicago}}, splitting from the corridor at {{amtk|Buffalo–Depew}}. A section of this train splits-off at Albany–Rensselaer to serve [[South Station|Boston]].
*''[[Adirondack (train)|Adirondack]]'': daily service from New York City to {{amtk|Montreal}}, splitting from the corridor in Schenectady.
*''[[Ethan Allen Express]]'': daily service from New York City to {{amtk|Burlington||Ethan Allen Express}}, splitting from the corridor in Schenectady.
*''[[Berkshire Flyer]]'': weekly summer service between New York City and {{amtk|Pittsfield}}, reversing direction and splitting from the corridor at Albany–Rensselaer.

===Commuter rail===
*[[Metro-North Railroad|Metro-North Railroad's]] [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]], from [[Poughkeepsie, New York]] to [[Grand Central Terminal]], New York, comprises the corridor between Poughkeepsie to south of Riverdale.

===Freight service===
Freight service is provided by [[CSX Transportation]].

==Stations==
All stations are in the [[New York (state)|state of New York]].
