Re: FRA ''preferred'' replacement Amtrak/MARC Baltimore tunnel now up to $4 billion

Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Fri Dec 2 01:12:42 2016, in response to FRA "preferred" replacement Amtrak/MARC Baltimore tunnel now up to $4 billion, posted by Olog-hai on Thu Dec 1 23:45:14 2016.

Nitpick about the first sentence: A theoretical train with Baltimore as a south terminal still covers most of the NEC, so I wouldn't call it a bottleneck. There are two more important constraints: #1 is the stupid Connecticut bridges, #2 is the lack of basic coaches. Solve those problems and show me frequent enough Regionals that some must do BOS - BAL, then I'll believe it's a bottleneck.

The tunnel absolutely needs a replacement or expansion, but not because it's constraining service.
