There are other real estate grabs through-running could support. Through-running plans often include a Sunnyside Yards station where Metro-North Penn Station Access (PSA) trains from Hell Gate meet LIRR trains to Penn and Grand Central Madison (GCM), which would also distribute some of the passenger loads out of Penn, which is more constrained. A station here would mean you could also deck over the 180-acre railyard and build skyscrapers (the MTA is exempt from zoning) for some 50k people (about the same population density of Yorkville in the UES) with direct commutes to Penn and Grand Central.
