High Speed Rail Stimulus Routes Released

June 18th 2009 04:23
The Federal Railroad Commission has released the ten routes that could receive stimulus funding for the US's entry into the world of high speed rail. I know that Amtrak has a woeful on time record and loses money year after year, but I think that if properly planned the idea could work here.


Not only could a person live 100 or more miles away from their work commute, it would help with pollution and help more families travel to vacation transportations.

The ten suggested routes:
-California corridor (Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego)

-Pacific Northwest corridor (Eugene, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver British Columbia)

-South Central corridor (Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Little Rock)

-Gulf Coast corridor (Houston, New Orleans, Mobile, Birmingham, Atlanta)

-Chicago hub network (Chicago, Milwaukee, Twin Cities, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville)

-Florida corridor (Orlando, Tampa, Miami)

-Southeast corridor (Washington, Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Macon, Columbia, Savannah, Jacksonville)

-Keystone corridor (Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh)

-Empire corridor (New York City, Albany, Buffalo)

-Northern New England corridor (Boston, Montreal, Portland, Springfield, New Haven, Albany)
