The Metro North and Amtrak owned Hudson River lines are not suitable for higher speed rail. They currently have a max speed of around 80 mph due to how curved the track is

It's also a bit premature considering we don't even have electrified rail service on the LIRR east of Ronkonkoma and Babylon

you would have to acquire land for a straight high speed rail, unless you make it slightly out of town
