Northeast Corridor

The Northeast Corridor (NEC) is an electrified railroad line in the Northeast megalopolis of the United States. Owned primarily by Amtrak, it runs from Boston in the north to Washington, D.C. in the south, with major stops in Providence, New Haven, Stamford, New York City, Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore. The NEC closely parallels Interstate 95 for most of its length. Carrying more than 2,200 trains a day,[2] it is (as of 2005) the busiest passenger rail line in the United States by ridership and by service frequency.[3]

The corridor is used by many Amtrak trains, including the high-speed Acela (formerly Acela Express), intercity trains, and several long-distance trains. Most of the corridor also has frequent commuter rail service, operated by the MBTA, CT Rail, Metro-North Railroad, Long Island Rail Road, New Jersey Transit, SEPTA, and MARC. While large through freights have not run on the NEC since the early 1980s, some sections still carry smaller local freights operated by CSX, Norfolk Southern, CSAO, Providence and Worcester, New York and Atlantic, and Canadian Pacific. CSX and NS partly own their routes.

Amtrak services that use the Northeast Corridor include the Cardinal, Carolinian, Crescent, Keystone Service, Northeast Regional, Palmetto, Pennsylvanian, Silver Meteor, Silver Star, and Vermonter trains, which reach 125 mph (201 km/h); and its Acela trains, which reach 150 mph (240 km/h) on a few sections in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. They also include some express trains operated by MARC that reach 125 mph (201 km/h). Acela covers the 225 mi (362 km) between New York and Washington, D.C., in under three hours, and the 229 mi (369 km) between New York and Boston in under 3.5 hours.[4][5]

Amtrak's proposals for improvements to enable "true" high-speed rail on the corridor would roughly halve travel times at an estimated cost of $151 billion.[6][7]
