Capacity constraints on the NEC (current and future) may justify upgrading the route.  A key question is whether the nation needs to spend upwards of $200 billion (includes debt service costs) or whether something on a lesser scale would do the job. If the market is Stamford to Philadelphia or any number of intermediate points, is a 220 mph railroad the optimum solution for the problem? I have a great fondness for passenger trains.  I ride them whenever I get the opportunity to do so.  I also have a burning passion for fiscal responsibility.  To lay out a proposal for upgrading the NEC or any other rail corridor without a solid plan to pay for it bothers me.
