Amtrak is only going to upgrade the ROW (ie trackage and switches including another set of puzzle switches so a single filure will not tie up the station). Also the station will be upgraded to carry more passengers thru the station. everything above station will be responsibility of developers. </strong></p> <p><strong>Also NYP is becoming a real choke point and will be completely choked whenever the Gateway tunnels open ( ?? date unknown  )). </strong>[/quote]</p> <p>Union Station, Washington, D.C. is owned by the United States under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).  Amtrak is just one tenant. Although it says that it plans to upgrade the station, Amtrak will need board approval for the project. See my separate thread regarding Union Station for more detail.    </p>
