High-Speed Rail in the Northeast Corridor
The Northeast Corridor (NEC) is one of the busiest,
most complex, and economically vital transportation
systems in the world. Connecting eight states and the
District of Columbia, the NEC supports a $2.6 trillion
economy. As a steward and majority owner of the NEC,
Amtrak not only moves intercity riders, but provides
access and/or operational support to eight commuter
lines and six freight operators. As the popularity of
rail travel soars, Amtrak and our NEC partners are
challenged to ensure that the NEC can meet the demand
for new capacity on this critical infrastructure asset,
portions of which date back a century, and continue to
deliver the safe, reliable and convenient service
passengers expect from America's
Railroad®.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NORTHEAST
