Y'know, this all looks doable on paper, but until the American ideal of our own cars is replaced and transportation at whatever destination is developed, these ideas are pie-in-the-sky musings, I'm afraid. Before that kind of $$$ can be diverted from high profile lobbys (auto mfgs, airlines and trucks), a complete mindset metamorphasis must occur. I wouldn't bet a dime on it at 10,000 to 1. Similar subjects to this have come up in these posts before, and as before, I'm no fan of Amtrak. It's need and subsequently, its service are the only things more despicable than the airlines. Outside of the corridors, I believe Amtrak has no place. The NEC, west coast and a few others merit improvement, but that's all. The $$$ would be better spent getting trucks off the interstate system and on rails. Everyone would be safer.
