Amtrak's Plan To Fix The North East Corridor...Here's How

[@PLMerry]

The Connecticut River bridge that is being replaced in Winsndor Locks is on the Sprinfield Line. Even more important is the ground breaking last fall of the NEC main line bridge over the Connecticut River between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme, CT.

the worst bottleneck north of NY is CT, it's so slow going between Boston and NYC cause of the CT section.

Bypass CT

[@Thisoldhiker]

@@qjtvaddict The idea of running this NY - Boston connection the length of Long Island and under LI Sound would be a huge improvement.

Thanks for the perfekt information 😊 I be happy to subscribe this canal

[@quetzal4042]

Hey, when they going to electrify the Harrisburg-Pittsburgh corridor??

[@GREATTRAINSPEED]

Don't think that would be their priority right now. That line is owned by the freight company so there's little chance they would agree to do that

[@jayydarailfaner549]

There’s actually no need for that anyways there’s only two trains running between those stations

[@robertklose2140]

Is the Keystone service considered part of the NEC?

[@GREATTRAINSPEED]

YES!

Then Secretary Musk will gut the Department of Transport in favor of private electric Teslas.

[@andrewreynolds4949]

But going all electric would lose loads of money, which is the opposite of what his department is assigned to do!

[@michaelblair5566]

DOGE will stop this nonsense!

[@maestromecanico597]

We can only hope.

[@wflinner]

you people are losers lmao

[@TheNobleFive]

...so what makes this bad? It's the busiest rail corridor in the US. 14 million trips last year. Amtrak had its highest ridership in history last year too. This would improve American infrastructure. What's wrong with that? How is that wasteful?

[@maestromecanico597]

@ For starters, more money going to the overhead between Newark (the real one) and Trenton. They had already received close to a half billion dollars of turned back HSR monies for that stretch. And now they want more?

@@maestromecanico597 What the hell do you expect when this country has neglected our railways for decades? You all think things are supposed to cost less as time goes by. With the bullshit that has gone on in this country because of Reaganomics, you NEED to be blaming yourselves for putting politicians in office who's primary goal is to appease lobbyists who are against providing good public transportation services for ALL of us.
