Rail planners outline various remedies for Northeast Corridor
From philly.com:
Quote:
Some of the alternatives envision new stations in Center City and at Philadelphia International Airport, with continuing use of 30th Street Station for regional traffic.
Although the FRA has not made any cost estimates yet, Amtrak has said it would require more than $10 billion to simply restore the rail corridor to a state of good repair. And Amtrak has said $151 billion would be needed to develop a separate high-speed corridor between Washington and Boston to accommodate trains traveling at 220 m.p.h. and cut the travel time between Philadelphia and New York to 37 minutes.
