Stewart will never be an alternative due to distance, location, and that the cost to build out useful rail infrastructure to it would be exorbitant. The most realistic possibility for a reliever airport is ISP which could leverage LIRR upgrades that need to be done anyway. Still probably looking at 45min to an hour to get out there on an express shuttle.
