The money train’s next stop should be the Big Apple.

Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo wants the federal government to give New York $1.26 billion in rail funds that two Midwestern states rejected for a high-speed train link between New York City, Toronto and Montreal.

The funds were originally allocated to Wisconsin and Ohio, but the states’ newly elected Republican governors campaigned on promises to cancel the projects, Cuomo wrote to US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

“New York has received only a small fraction of federal money for high-speed rail, but we want to make it a success now,” Cuomo wrote.

Cuomo said he “would move quickly to put the billions in rejected stimulus funding toward projects that would create thousands of good jobs for New Yorkers.”
