Rail: A Vital Economic Stimulant
Northeast Megaregion has a $2.4 Trillion Economy, 20% of the Nation’s GDP
Central business districts, and research and development clusters
around universities, are the engines of the economy in the Northeast
Future economic growth depends on
the ability to move goods and people quickly and reliably between the region’s urban centers.

What Needs to be Done - SOGR
State of Good Repair Backlog ~ $8B
More than 200 bridges most dating to the turn of the last century
Baltimore’s B&P Tunnels dating to post-Civil War period
Many interlockings (junctions and crossovers) which have not undergone a major renewal in decades and are now functionally obsolete
Electric traction systems straining to cope with increased traffic levels while relying on 1930’s-era components
