U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood recently announced nearly $745 million in grants for construction along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. Almost $450 million will go to upgrade electrical systems and tracks between New Jersey and New York City, resulting in better on-time performance and an initial increase in maximum operating speed to 160 mph. Another $300 million will alleviate major delays in Manhattan, with new routes to bypass the busiest passenger rail junction in the nation.
